noroot neologisms?

Can someone give me an example of a neologism which was formed based on no known root words? Are there any at all? Would such a word be considered an English-origin word if it became widely accepted? For example, if I made up a word "ujamubaomogatiko', not for any particular reason and it became very common.

Sorry I posted it in the languages forum, I meant to do it hear.

From the Film: "Mary Poppins" is the neologism 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' and the song explaining how it came to be invented and what it means.

Try using it in a moment of difficulty!

People will be impressed!



MARY POPPINS SUPERCALIFRAGILIS LYRICS



It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Um diddle diddle diddle
Um diddle aye
Um diddle diddle diddle
Um diddle aye
Um diddle diddle diddle
Um diddle aye
Um diddle diddle diddle
Um diddle aye

Because I was afraid to speak when I was just a lad
Me father gave me nose a tweak and told me I was bad
But then one day I learned a word that saved my aching nose
The biggest word you ever heard and this is how it goes

Oh supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Um diddle diddle diddle
Um diddle aye
Um diddle diddle diddle
Um diddle aye
Um diddle diddle diddle
Um diddle aye
Um diddle diddle diddle
Um diddle aye

He traveled all around the world and everywhere he went
He'd use this word and all would say there goes a clever gent
When dukes and maharajahs pass the time of day with me
I say me special word and then they ask me out to tea

Oh supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Um diddle diddle diddle
Um diddle aye
Um diddle diddle diddle
Um diddle aye

You know, you can say it backwards, which is "docious-ali-expi-listic-fragi-cali-repus", but that's going a bit too far, don't you think?
Indubitably

So when the cat has got your tongue there's no need for dismay
Just summon up this word and then you've got a lot to say
But better use it carefully or it could change your life
For example, yes, one night I said it to me girl, and now me girl's me wife
Oh and a lovely thing she is too

She's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
