Ruskineʹse (3 syl.).

Words and phrases introduced by Ruskin, or coined à la Ruskin. The word is used in The Times;

“Such writers as Ruskin and Carlyle have made for themselves technical terms, words, and phrases; some of which will be incorporated into the language … while others may remain emblems of Ruskinese and Carlylism.”—June 11, 1869.
