c/MorDictionary · by MorDictionary@lemmy.world · 162dIs this neologism "ursovector" for ‘one who bears bears or a bear’ too awkward in its connotations? Is there a better neologism for this concept? https://mordictionary.org/wiki/UrsovectorRon Davis the Dude who Fixed (or at least made better) MoribundMurdoch's Neologism Attempt 0 points · 2 comments · view on lemmy.world

Arktos is the Greek word for bear, and appears in the Eurasian brown bear's scientific name (Ursus arctos arctos)
Perhaps "arctovector"?

I say go for as many hyper-specific variations & connotations as possible and let the most convenient variation (or typically the most general use variation) dominate like alterocentric appearing more popular than allocentric.
