Subdeligma

subdeligma

noun

The unnoticed presence of things that are real and substantial, yet remain invisible to those around them; they persist in their existence despite the world’s indifferent gaze, often waiting in vain for recognition.

Hidden phenomena that, though imperceptible to the casual observer, carry weight and substance—phantoms of reality that echo with silent pleas, their essence woven into the tapestry of existence, awaiting a moment of acknowledgment.

(From Latin ‘sub’ (under) + ‘delego’ (to choose or select) + Greek ‘-ma’ (a result), capturing the essence of things chosen to exist beneath awareness. Pronounced ‘sub-deh-LIG-ma’)
