novation

An improper word coming from incorrectly assuming that the first two letters <in> in <innovation> are a negating prefix (like incapable), and removing them to negate the meaning once more. The opposite of innovation, familiarity, imitation, etc. May also mean going in the opposite direction of innovation, reversion, degeneration, etc.

You don't have to reinvent the wheel with this novation every time you want to change that.
