The UK-based dictionary company, Collins, has released its shortlist of popular words for 2021. It said the word that topped the shortlist to become the word of the year was NFT, an abbreviation of non-fungible token, as it has been all over the news this year and caught the interest of the public.

New blockchain-based technologies are not exactly the easiest things to explain and that includes NFTs. With all these shortlisted words, Collins has provided an easy to understand definition.
