As 2018 comes to a close and you reflect on the past year, what comes to mind? Do the words Trump, Russians, or immigration spring up? Perhaps Bitcoin and cryptocurrency? No doubt this has been a year of political and financial volatility and any word of the year should be a reflection of the time.

YourDictionary’s team of linguistic experts extensively reviewed what has made the year memorable and decided the word or phrase that best reflected our changing times is deep state. What is deep state you say? If you are not 100% sure of the definition, you are not alone, a Monmouth poll in March 2018 found that 63% of Americans were unaware of the term deep state, but, when it was explained to them, 74% believe the deep state exists.
