I think he was explaining his previous word.
hmm.. I don't see the rule about hypneated words in the list of rules (but I do see that, according to DL, 4+5=7). Thus:
m-set, which is a mathematical set used when treating trigonometric expansions that aren't necessary Fourier series.

GC is on the money, i was simply expanding on my previous word, since you requested some supporting material

that was from thefreedictionary.com by the way

8)For each letter of the previous word you use,you get one point.If you use a whole word in the new word,you get five extra points(example:mist -> mistaken gives you 7 points,not 3).

So, I suppose we're going from m-set? If not, I've got a word that may work. But, anyway,

Not sure if this will be allowed, or if Corribus has killed the game, but

Ingsoc

from thefreedictionary.com

Ingsoc (Newspeak for "English Socialism") is the ideology of the totalitarian government of Oceania (The Americas, the Atlantic islands including the British Isles, Australasia, and the southern portion of Africa) in George Orwell's dystopic novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Ingsoc apparently came to dominance during a socialist revolution, but as The Party is constantly changing history it is difficult to tell precisely how it came about. Emmanuel Goldstein's book-within-the-book The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism (see Goldstein's book) describes the actual ideology of the Party as "oligarchical collectivism", stating that Ingsoc "rejects and vilifies every principle for which the Socialist movement originally stood, and it chooses to do this in the name of Socialism".

Ingsoc is personified by Big Brother, an omnipresent Stalin-like figure constantly depicted on posters and the telescreen. Like Ingsoc itself, Big Brother is constantly watching. Ingsoc demands complete submission to it, and uses torture to achieve that end (Room 101). In fact, Ingsoc has mastered a complex system of psychological tools and methods to make people not only confess imagined crimes and forget any thoughts of rebellion, but to actually love Ingsoc itself.


there is some more, but that covers the best bits
