👉 A furcate is a term used in linguistics to describe an artificial or invented word. In other words, it refers to a word that has been created by another person or group of people without being derived from any natural language or language system. Furcates are often used in the context of English-speaking countries to refer to words such as "fashion," "fanciness," and "fancy." They can be created by combining different sounds, creating new words that are not naturally occurring
