The term Brexit first appeared in June 2012, on the model of Grexit, a term which had appeared earlier in the year in reference to the possibility of Greece leaving the Eurozone (the group of EU countries which use the Euro as a unit of currency). Its coinage attributed to economist Ebrahim Rahbari, Grexit has also inspired the word Fixit in relation to Finland’s ongoing deliberations on Eurozone membership, and more recently Czechit in relation to the Czech Republic’s relationship with the EU.
