Wow! What a cool word!!!
New Word
My new word is . . .

SEMIPHANTACIBLE ! ! ! !
It looks like it’s straight from the dictionary, doesn’t it!

It is pronounced: Sem-eye- fan-TAS-ib-ul
It is an adjective.
I made this word because I reasearched synonyms of imagination,
and some of them were phantasy, fantasy, and imaginare. A fantasy
is in my opinion, something totally untrue. People can imagine almost
anything! It can be true or not. That is why it is semi-phantacible; it is
partly, but not quite a total fantasy. I added the ending -ible because
then it is an adjective, meaning some kind of ability.

The boy’s picture of the flying pig was semiphantacible.
Albert Einstein’s pictures of flying machines were semiphantacible.
They seemed crazy at first, but ultimately, they were realistic.
