The way words are born in english

There is one unanswerable question:
«How words are born?». Who are the parents?
I have an intriguing suggestion
To tell you several widespread variants.

English has evolved through generations,
Borrowing lots of foreign words.
It underwent a bunch of major changes,
Collecting its unique vocabulary pot.

Latin presented its «bishop», «cup», «cherry», «angel».
French gifted «soldiers», «justice» and «garage».
The Celtic souvenir I would mention
Was multivalued «banner».
And I would name that process the «Word Rush».

Some words appeared via Word-composition
When fixed in English Stem plus Stem is a new word.
When «day» plus «dream» together make a new vision,
Create a word that no one’s ever heard.

Some other words, I guess, were born by brands.
What is the «insulating vacuum storage flask»?
And I, with huge respect, will shake your hands
If you tell me: «It’s Thermos, what a task»!

MTFBWY!*
Is it a random alphabet?
It is an Acronym which is being used while
Shortening of the long-phrase, this or that.

There is the suffix «-or» creates any profession:
Predictor, counsellor, communicator and what not.
This phenomenon is called a Suffixation.
Now is the time to put a temporary dot.

The question of word birth is complicated.
There is no correct answer, no one to respond.
The boundaries of the English word are faded.
The truth knows only our Great Lord.
