potential word

In LINGUISTICS, a term for any WORD which can be generated using the WORD-FORMATION rules of a language, even though it has not yet been attested. In English, the attested LEXICON includes revision from revise, but not devision (from devise), which thus remains part of the potential lexicon. Similarly, slock is a potential word, on PHONOLOGICAL grounds, but fnock is not.
