Words get added to the dictionary by committee; new words come about all the time in either new discoveries, slang or fiction.
New words by discovery (invention, expirament, research) they are automatically added.
“Made up” words are then put to a few tests to see just how permenant they have become in culture…not permenant throughout future time but how widely the word has become.
I remember a lot of news stories from the Harry Potter book days(2002/2003) muggle was added to the dictionary……simpler times
