Delineation to nomenclature

• Terminology … about single words
• Nomenclature … systematic naming schemes (like naming molecules, or sets of similar engineering parts)

What makes great terminology

Avoid terminology collisions!! Instead seek white spaces on the terminology map.

• collision/conflict-free
• novel/unique

Major search engine conjures or no results. Or few that cover a highly unrelated topics.
Avoid competition with existing terminology especially for topics similar in nature

Seek unannexable terminology that can hardly be stolen away.

• decriptive – putting sufficiently descriptive elements into the term can
  make it hard to impossible for competing concepts adopt the same terms, and thus they cannot drown out search results. – strongly avoid to use things as generic as "nanotech"

Seek catchy terminology!
But what does tha even mean?
catchy = clickbaity + memorizable

Seek strongly curiosity-sparking terminology, clickbaity terminology.

• mental dissonance causing, baffling on first sight – e.g. transparent aluminum

Seek memoritzable terminology!

• spellable (by target audience) – avoid a slew of consecutive consonants - no "qtpfsgui"
• brief

Seek humorous terminology!

• humorous, good-kind-of-odd

Example

gem-gum-tec

• collisionfree & novel – yes, till 2022 at least
• descriptive – yes see: Gem-gum
• baffling – yes, Hopefully achieved aim is to sparking the question:
  How the heck can gum (rubber) be made from gem (gemstone)?
  Resolved in the expanded terminology "gemstone metamaterial technology"
• spellable – yes, no consecutive consonants
• brief – yes, obviously
• humorous – maybe? gem-gum sounds a bit funny/silly – reader may judge
