Definition: In the context of linguistics, "westling" is a term used to describe a specific type of word that appears in English, but its meaning is not as clear or well-defined as other words in the language. The term was first coined by linguist Charles Sanders Peirce and has since been applied to various types of words. In "westernized" English, this type of word refers to a person who is relatively isolated from mainstream society or culture, often associated with the west.
