Hmm... I know what you're trying to say with your definition. Maybe monotony is the word?

Master of 7s, I don't know if this is the term you were looking for, but the formal scientific term for repeating a word until it loses meaning is "semantic satiation." Its opposite is "semantic generation."
I have no idea of a single-word term for it, unless you're talking about something similar to "desensitization" or "generalization" (going by your "z" theory).
Desensitization?
Desensitization sounds like the word I'm searching for, in fact I'm almost positive that is the one, but sematic satiation makes more sense.
Thanks Cynical.
:lol: that actually made me laugh out loud.Quote:
