'onserve

To 'Onserve is to protect and preserve a person, place, animal, environment, or thing, so that others may benefit from its preservation in the future.

Derived from the word "conserve" and "conservation", 'onserve pays tribute to the former by dropping the "c" and adding a clever literary notation (') to replace the c.

By removing the negative sentiment "con", we can then adjust the language appropriate to the need, whereby the positive use of the word 'onserve or 'onservation can infer the language user to "serve onward" something of importance.

Language users may also use the former "conserve" when referring to language of a negative sentiment. For example: "the government and their conservation efforts precedes any good talent that they may of had."

Or

"Their ability to conserve our food supplies is an example of how well they are able to manage parliamentary office."

When we remove the word "con", we can then assist the positive tone of a word by negating the definition of the word "con", by replacing it with a positive influencing word such as "on".
For example: "During the winter months of war, we mad an attempt to 'onserve our food supplies by storing them in the snow."

Second example: "our 'onservation efforts were well rewarded with the passing of the snow as all good supplies did not spoil."
