Some lingo adapted for new word (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neologism

'new word' is the definition.

'some lingo adapted' is the wordplay.
'adapted' is an anagram indicator.
'some'+'lingo'='somelingo'
'somelingo' is an anagram of 'NEOLOGISM'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for neologism that I've seen before include "new term" , "Newly-coined word or expression" , "Newly coined word" , "New word or phrase" , "Brexit maybe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
