Origin and Evolution of JOMO

First Known Use: 2013 year
Language of Origin: English
Story behind the word: The word 'JOMO' is a portmanteau of the words 'joy' and 'missing out'. It was coined to describe the feeling of contentment and satisfaction that comes from staying in and enjoying personal time for oneself, rather than feeling the need to go out and participate in social activities.
Evolution of the word: Since its first known use in 2013, 'JOMO' has gained popularity in the age of social media and constant connectivity, where people often feel pressure to always be doing something or attending events. The word has evolved to represent a shift in mindset towards prioritizing self-care and personal well-being over constant social engagement.
