> We understand how to put multiple terms together to express nuanced ideas. That's not the same as having a single word that embodies a specific concept, that helps/shorten the expression/sharing of it. If you don't have this single concept that stands for itself, and/or that you don't know the word, as long as you can't name it, it's hard if not impossible to see it. That's why we give a name to things or people we find/meet. See shades of white (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_white https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_white), plural forms, different depending on the language (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural#Use_in_systems_of_grammatical_number https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural#Use_in_systems_of_gramm...), love (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love) if only in Greek where it has at least 6 very distinct ones (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_words_for_love https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_words_for_love). But, also, that knack for ambiguity and second and third order meaning in apparently detached sentences in some languages, it has its own charms.
