milvern.

Brit.

/ˈmɪlvə/, U.S.

/ˈmɪlvər/

Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: silver n.

Etymology: Alteration of silver n., coined by the American writer, Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946), apparently with the intention of forming a new word which would also provide a rhyme for a word otherwise lacking one:1974 O. Barfield in J. Beer Coleridge's Variety ix. 204 They [sc. Logan Pearsall Smith and Walter de la Mare] decided to invent one and they further decided that, in doing so, they would apply a new principle of courage. This was, to look around for some especially lovely word, with which there happened to be no available rhyme, and to invent a rhyme for it. The existing word they hit on was ‘silver’ and the word they invented was ‘milver’. chilver n. in fact provides an earlier English rhyme, although now only found in regional use.

A person with whom one shares a strong interest in a particular topic, esp. that of words and wordplay.Logan Pearsall Smith's coinage was of the general sense, later writers attaching the specific sense because of Smith's personal interests.
