Lexicon of alternate universes

Basically somebody describes a concept, maybe gives a little backstory, tells us what it's called in that universe., along with it's OTL equivalent.

my idea

Musiciacta (soundtrack, in OTL)

A corrupted version of Musikgeschichte (literally "Music Story," in German)
Originated in the 16th Century CE when a composer set a translated version of the Anglo-Saxon saga Beowulf to music. He then hired a local man to give a dramatic reading of the saga as his orchestra played the pieces he had written. Eventually adopted further afield, especially when an English composer set the works of Shakespeare to music. By the nineteenth century, many plays were being written with the musiciacta in mind. Adopted early-on in film, many composers would find employment writing musiciactas, and became household names as a result.
 
Coilotion (another general word for stupid)

"For something to be stupid"

Coilotion comes nitially from the Greek word Koílos, which means "hollow" and the suffix "Tion" which means "the state of being".
The word originated in the 18th century when the famous author Fredrick Bombage wrote his most known book, King Alexander, a book dramatizing the life of King Alexander. During the book Alexander states "We will beat the coilotion known as the Persians!" Soon the word stuck as a fancy way of calling things and people idiotic and stupid.

Agapist (Free Love)

"One who supports all types of loving relationships, regardless of marital status or race, religion, or even gender, et cetera....."

A term that was coined by pioneering egalitarian philosopher Marie Garrison in mid-19th Century America, originally, as noted above, to describe those who support loving relationships between two people, regardless of whether or not those people involved were married, using the Greek word Agape as it's base, later expanded to include religion, and then race, and even, in the modern era, sexual orientations. This became part of an official ideological split off of Socialist philosophy, which eventually became especially popular in Western and Southern Europe, and Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and even Japan, especially during the latter half of the 20th Century.
