Crisessuch

Crisessuch is a neologism that denotes a rhetorical pattern in public discourse where the noun phrase "crisis" is paired with the determiner or phrase "such" or "such as" to underscore scope or to introduce exemplars of a category associated with the crisis. The construction can appear in variants like "a crisis such as..." or "crises such as..." and is often deployed to frame a specific situation as part of a broader, more severe set of problems.

Etymology: The term blends crisis with such, and may be written as a single word in informal glossaries. It is not part of standard grammar nomenclature; its usage is described descriptively in some discourse-analytic discussions.

Usage: Common in media, policy briefs, and political rhetoric. It may serve to recruit sympathy or urgency by linking a present crisis to other known problems, or to widen the set of comparable events. The phrase can be used for categorical claims ("crisis such as this demands...") or to introduce exemplars ("crises such as inflation, unemployment, and supply-chain disruption").

Critique: Critics argue that it can exaggerate the scope of a crisis or manipulate risk perception, while proponents see it as a natural device for signaling significance and organizing examples.
