Hubbard has invented a number of new words to convey the burden of his teachings, such as "mest," which stands for matter, energy, space, and time, and is used to describe those things of the finite universe such as the mest body, and other things which are sometimes just "mest" ; "obnosis" which is a condensation of "observing" and "the obvious" ; "anaten" which means "analytical attenuation" ; "preclear," the state of a person before he is "clear" ; "randomity," "ded," "dedex," "denyer" meaning one who denies, and many others.]

Hubbard created Scientology's language to be unique to its members. It includes words that are interpretations, or variations, of standard terms: "isness," for example, which Scientology's glossaries say, in essence, means "reality." But there are also words that are wholly made up, such as "obnosis," which means "observation of the obvious."]
