Question

inchoate adjective Inchoate comes from inchoare, which means "to start work on" in Latin but translates literally as "to hitch up" (inchoare combines the prefix in- with the Latin noun cohum, which refers to the strap that secures a plow beam to a draft animal's yoke). The concept of this initial step toward the larger task of plowing a field explains how inchoate came to describe something (as a plan or idea) in its early, not fully formed, stages of development. Inchoate means "imperfectly formed or formulated."// In the podcast, the author described the process by which she took a series of inchoate vignettes and shaped them into her best-selling novel.
