| has gloss | eng: "A return to normalcy" (i.e. a return to the way of life before World War I) was U.S. Presidential candidate Warren Harding’s campaign promise in the election of 1920. Although detractors believed that the word was a neologism as well as a malapropism coined by Harding (as opposed to the more accepted term normality), there was contemporary discussion and evidence found that normalcy had been listed in dictionaries as far back as 1857.
