Well known by... his policies? The jury's still out because he only just got into power. He could go back to more Corbynite policies by stealth.

He's a national treasure

People will hold their noses just the same for the Tories in 5 years' time, after them having done way worse things than just not quite holding their coalition partner back a couple of times.

What Clegg conceded was bad, but 14 years might be enough exile and personnel churn for one to give them a new chance.

Not sure what you mean. He's well known for having one stance under Corbyn and another when leader. The first being quite radical and socially progressive, the second being essentially Tory but a bit better. Which bit did they make up: the before or after?

One could argue "understand" is more clearly two words stuck together than others mentioned.

Not that the two words combine meaningfully to create the new word!

The answer to that question involves talking about the French and what happened in 1066!

Tbf though, Webster tried simplifying some words for American English. He just didn't manage to get them all.
