The UK's cost of living crisis, political upheavals and global conflict has resulted in "permacrisis" emerging as the Word of the Year for 2022, according to Collins Dictionary on Tuesday. The new term, which is defined as “an extended period of instability and insecurity”, has been named Collins Word of the Year 2022 after it observed a 20-fold increase in its use over the year.
