a "calpurnian" arrangement. Calpurnia, with Maudie and Alexandra helped nurture Scout to adulthood. Mayella got no such arrangement. Harper Lee's book has more in it than the movie. But you knew that. Help coin this new word, "calpurnian" arrangement by using it often and frequently.

I applaud you for your temerity to believe that you can coin a new word.
Who knows, that kind of grass roots concept might work.
However, I think that most new words or slogans enter the popular culture at a single point of departure and are simultaneously embraced by a plurality of a set of people who are trend setters and have access to a media outlet.
You know, when I was younger, I tried to coin a silly phrase, "man o day o," a term that I envisioned would be popularized by the metaphorical resonance it evoked as the phrase rolled off the tongue.
Unfortunately, it didn't catch on.
I hope your term fares better.
Good luck.
