When I want to invent a new word for a concept, I just pick a related concept and then swap out the first letter, but then I end up sounding like a middle schooler. Can anybody else help me out with this kroblem?

It’d say use a portmanteau. For example, I’d use relaterm (with the “re” pronounced as in “relative”), a stand in for “related term”, to describe the sort of concept that you want to express in a better way. So you’re looking for a better way of referring to relaterms.

Scientists just use latin/greek. Fancy-sounding words like "cardiologist" just mean something middle school-sounding like "heart-studier".

Break two related concept labels into parts and combine them as you see fit.
