    “Cromulent” was a perfectly cromulent word as soon as someone thought of it.

      Actually, by its original definition, the word “cromulent” is not cromulent.

        Only when it was coined. It’s very cromulent now, and could be argued to have become cromulent as soon as the meta argument was understood: that good words are those that successfully convey meaning.
