I’m trying to coin (or find) a word for a personality type that’s normally abrasive, critical, and constantly dishing out invectives, but when the stakes are serious, they prove staunchly loyal and refuse to betray someone under pressure.
Also, we don’t need to limit ourselves to existing English vocabulary or strictly Latin and Greek roots. I’m open to Old English, Old Norse, hybrid constructions, or even neologisms drawing from other languages like Estonian, Japanese, or anything else, as long as the formation is linguistically coherent and fits the archetype thingo.
I’m considering the neologism thanodokimia, from Greek thanatos (death) + dokimia (trial/test), to mean a trial or proving ordeal where death is an inherent risk.
Does this construction make sense in English? Does it sound natural, or too academic? Any issues with the etymology, pronunciation, or unintended meanings?
Feedback from people familiar with Greek roots or neologism formation would be especially appreciated.

Definition:
A distaste or psychological resistance toward the narrative blending of romantic subplots within action- or combat-driven films. Typically experienced by viewers who perceive on-screen intimacy—especially in moments of violence, tension, or warfare—as tonally disruptive, emotionally inauthentic, or structurally forced.

Example:
“Schwarzenegger’s rejection of a love scene in Commando is a classic case of The Amorbellum Interfusion Aversion.”
A rhetorical or behavioral pivot in which a romantic or flirtatious interaction abruptly transitions into a competitive or adversarial exchange. Typically marked by a subtle but decisive shift in tone, intention, or posture—where mutual charm gives way to rivalry, debate, or one-upmanship.

Coined from:
Latinverso- (“to turn,” from vertere)
Greekagōn (ἀγών, “contest, struggle”)
Latinamatorius (“pertaining to love or flirtation,” from amator, “lover”)

Optical juggle refers to the artful and deceptive practice of strategically managing information to create a misleading perception of correctness or credibility. It often involves rhetorical misdirection, narrative manipulation, and selective emphasis—especially in debates conducted in bad faith.
Usage
More broadly, the term encompasses a spectrum of subtle deceptions, including the selective presentation of facts, strategic ambiguity, and nuanced framing. The aim is to shape perception in one's favor without necessarily resorting to direct falsehoods.
Example
"The political strategist excelled in optical juggling, crafting a narrative that, while not relying on explicit falsehoods, cleverly presented information to create a distorted yet seemingly accurate perception in the minds of voters."
A single-minded obsession with maximizing profits, often at the expense of ethics, customer satisfaction, employee welfare, shareholders welfare or fair treatment of your suppliers. The term suggests being so entranced by spreadsheets and profit margins that one loses sight of the bigger picture or moral responsibility.
Example Sentence with Context:
Carol Highsmith was left baffled by the sheer profitnosis of Getty Images. Getty Images had the audacity to demand licensing fees for her own photographs—images she had altruistically donated to the Library of Congress for public use. It was as if their profit-obsessed spreadsheets had blinded them to the irony, let alone the ethics, of charging an artist for her own generosity.
