Where this word comes from
Coined by an eight-year-old schoolboy in a written assignment in February 2016, from petalo (“petal”) + -oso (“-y, -ful, -some”). It became a topic of public discussion when the boy's teacher asked the Accademia della Crusca for an official opinion on the word's validity. While the word is morphologically well-formed, its lack of widespread use by native speakers prevented its recognition into the official dictionaries of the Crusca.
