How it's used
Refers specifically to vocabulary that a learner or reader has not yet encountered or mastered. It is most commonly used in educational contexts, such as when discussing textbooks or language learning materials. Unlike the term 詞彙 which refers to a person's entire vocabulary, this focuses on individual items that are currently unknown.

Common mistake
Avoid using this word to describe slang or trendy internet language, as it strictly refers to vocabulary that is new to the learner, not necessarily new to the language itself.
