Some lingo that's freshly made? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neologism

'some lingo that's freshly made?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'some lingo that's freshly made?' is the wordplay.
'that's freshly made?' indicates an anagram.
'some'+'lingo'='somelingo'
'somelingo' with letters rearranged gives 'NEOLOGISM'.

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

I've seen this clue in The Times.
