wiglomeration singular

Morphology

wiglomeration = conglomeration (semi-transparent) = wig + glomeration

Formed by a playful blending (wig + conglomeration); the base sense of 'conglomeration' (mixture) helps infer the meaning, but the nonce 'wig' element is nonproductive and may confuse learners.

Etymology

Wiglomeration is a playful new word made from wig and agglomeration, where agglomeration means 'a cluster' or 'a mass'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of a 'wig' as something wild or changeable and agglomeration as a messy cluster, so wiglomeration means a chaotic, confusing mix of different ideas or styles.
