Existirexistió

Existirexistió is a neologism used in contemporary philosophy and literary theory to describe a mode of being that integrates both current existence and past existence within a single referent. The term blends the Spanish infinitive existir (to exist) with the preterite existió (it existed), producing a word that signals a persistent, diachronic sense of being.

Etymology and conception: The word is a portmanteau designed to emphasize temporal layering in ontology. It suggests that something’s present meaning or identity cannot be separated from its history of having existed, and that past existence continues to shape interpretation in the present.

Definition and scope: It can apply to objects, persons, ideas, or cultural artifacts whose current form is inseparable from their past life or prior occurrences. In this sense, existirexistió communicates a continuity that blends memory, heritage, and current reality, rather than a simple snapshot of existence.

Usage and reception: The term appears in niche philosophical essays, speculative criticism, and some glossaries exploring time, memory, and identity. It is not a standardized or widely adopted term, but a symbolic tool for discussing how existence is layered across temporality and how past iterations influence present understanding.

Examples and context: In discussions of artifacts or narratives, one might say that an element “functions en existirexistió,” meaning its present significance includes traces of its earlier existence. See also ontology, temporality, and the persistence of identity in philosophy and literature.
