Why this word is great
QUALISIGN — [Noun] A sign that consists in a quality of feeling or a possibility. From English quality ("a characteristic property") + sign ("an object, quality, or event indicating something"). Unlike a sinsign (an actual occurrence of a sign) or a legisign (a sign bound by convention), a qualisign is pure potential—the redness of an apple before it is seen, the hum of a tuning fork before it finds its note, or the scent of rain lingering in the air before the first drop falls. It is the raw, unshaped essence of meaning, the world whispering to you in a language before grammar.
