If there were no word in the english language for bonsai.

[Bolero]

Treart, Trescape, Trepot

 

[AZbonsai]

Wretched

 

[Mr.E]

It would probably be a acronym, but for now I'll go with tratrepo

 

[Vin]

How about...
Tiny pot tree of aesthetic importance and of artistic expression with feeling of orientalism in form and structure.....

Too vague..

 

[Dav4]

"Treeplantedinashallowpotandartisticallyshapedtoresembleatreeinnature"

But I fear it may be misspelled.

Hey, that's what I was gonna say!!!

 

[JoeR]

Well bonsai is, at least in my opinion, most importantly a mix of horticulture and art.... so something to do with those two words.

hortiart? Lol

 

[Dav4]

Arborgeddon

 

[Dav4]

Arborreceptaculia

 

[dirk hoorelbeke]

When there is no english word, just use the dutch one. "bonsai". Might work

hortiart? Lol

Or "Articulture"

 

[JudyB]

Or "Articulture"

This one has my vote so far.

 

[Grant Hamby]

Like other movements in the art world, I feel it has to be an "ism" kind of word. I'm going with microarborism.

that's a good one!

 

[the1only]

You guys forgot " Mallsai"

 

[Solange]

You guys forgot " Mallsai"

That's more of a portmanteau of a japanese and english word, but does deserve honorable mention

But I fear it may be misspelled.

Good one Leonard.

 

[MACH5]

Good one Leonard.

Leonard??

 

[wireme]

Leonard??

Leonard of Quirm, a fictional Terry Pratchett character. I thought there was a chance you were familiar with him already. He would have come up with a similar name for bonsai.



"Leonard likes inventing weapons of war but refuses to believe that anyone really would use his dangerous inventions. In fact, Leonard's brain is particularly receptive to particles of raw inspiration, ideas that sleet through the universe and strike inventors' or artists' minds in the dead of the night. As such, Leonard has engineered the gonne and siege engines alongside flying machines, submarines, message encryption/decryption devices, pub game devices, and engines for making very fast coffee. Oddly enough, his creativity seems to stop when needed to give appealing names to his inventions: for example, for his machine capable of travelling submersed in a marine environment he came up with the name of "Going-Under-The-Water-Safely Device".
