1336: Jamais-vu Aug 8, 2018

People have all sorts of shorthands for laypeople to express the less-usual psychological processes that one may experience, including ‘déjà-vu’, ‘tip-of-the-tongue’ or ‘baader-meinhof phenomenon'. Related to all of these is the less-commonly used ‘jamais-vu’, which describes the feeling of familiarity to something completely new. This is not strictly linguistic, and is sometimes associated with amnesia and epilepsy, but often people will describe this sense as it relates to newly learned words, or words repeated ad nauseam.
