Vaccine

“Vaccine”(疫苗) is Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Year. The word was selected based on lookup data, notable spikes, and year-over-year increases in searches. On the site, lookups for “vaccine” increased by 601% over 2020, especially in the second half of the year. There was a 1,048% increase in site lookups this year compared to 2019. This August, lookups of “vaccine” jumped 535% due to widespread use in parts of the world and major stories about policy, permission and vaccination rates. And searches have remained stable through late fall. This selection comes after “pandemic” was chosen in 2020. The Oxford English Dictionary selected “vax” as their word of the year.

NFT

“NFT” is 2021’s “Word of the Year”, Collins Dictionary announced. According to the dictionary, NFT is “a unique digital certificate, registered in a blockchain, that is used to record ownership of an asset(资产) such as an artwork or a collectible.” Perhaps the most well-known example of an NFT is “Everydays: The First 5000 Days,” a collection of digital art made by designer Mike Winkelmann. In March, an NFT for the piece sold for $69.3 million. “Whether the NFT will have a lasting influence is yet to be determined, but its sudden appearance in conversations around the world makes it very clearly our Word of the Year,” the dictionary said.

Perseverance

Cambridge Dictionary’s word of the year for 2021 has been known as “perseverance”. The word was inspired by NASA’s mission to Mars, as data showed that users across the globe searched for the word online more than 243,000 times throughout the year. The dictionary found there was a sudden large increase in searches for the meaning of “perseverance” between 18 and 24 February, after NASA’s Perseverance Rover(探测器) landed on Mars. Last year, Cambridge Dictionary named “quarantine” as word of the year, after it became one of the most highly searched for words online.
