impactful

It appears in all(?) dictionaries.

(I see it accidentally exists in size 95. Should probably be moved to 60 or below?)

According to Google n-grams, looks like it's been exploding in popularity since ~2003.


revictimization

I searched all the above 7 dictionaries, and M-W is the only one that lists it.

It doesn't exist in size 95 at all.

According to Google n-grams, it seems like it appeared ~1975 and has boosted since then.

Note: Would "revictimisation" be considered the British variant? In a Google search, it looks like it's ~700k vs. ~36k hits in a 'z' vs. 's' comparison.


Here's the data generated from the lookup tool:
