I frequently wish to use the word "confluence" to mean "a happy and pleasing meeting or blending of multiple ideas, concepts or modes of thought", but apparently this word doesn't really exist, or at least if it does, this definition isn't really correct.

I had to look this up as I use it this way a lot - while the dictionary definitions didn't specifically include this use, every single textual example they gave used it in this figurative way. So basically, we're fine.

my mum liked to use the word "praunce" instead of prance -- probably a mistake that she found she liked -- and i agree with her, it's a good word and we sd say it

My family have a couple of weird in-words (a familial idiolect?) that they use. One of them is 'segacerate' for letting tea steep - I actually have no idea how it should be written, maybe 'sagacerate' for a combo of 'macerate' and 'sagacious', as you wisely let the tea brew?
