Where this word comes from
Coined by American author and neologist John Koenig, creator of The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows; a blend of Zeno (“the name of ancient Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea, in reference to Zeno’s dichotomy paradox, which ‘asks how a person can walk from one point to another if they must first cross a seeming infinity of halfway points, which makes their journey look like a series of ever-shrinking steps’”) + Mnemosyne (“the personification of memory in ancient Greek mythology”).
