When it comes to the development of linguistics, it is said that vocabulary is the factor that changes most quickly and actively. Vocabulary develops in two forms: the formation of neologism and the termination of the old words. Of these two forms, the former is the main current one in the lexical change and development. More and more we encounter neologism. Since scholars have much interest in these, there are many related studies nowadays. However, the exact understanding of neologism starts from the exactly established concept on neologism. This study tried to establish the new concept on neologism through related studies. I compared and analyzed some scholars`` slightly different definitions of neologism. Also I confirmed both the scope of time and of space, and established the new meaning between the old words and the Neologism. Additionally, I reconsider Neologism in terms of its pattern and the establishment of the condition.
