The word which represents original diction is LAPUNTAH.
An original diction refers to a word that its primary meaning can only be obtained from the language from which it is derived. An original diction may be mistaken for a different meaning if one is not familiar with the language from which it is derived. This is what happen to Gulliver in the passage given above.
