Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the impact of the current European conflict on the Czech language, leading to the prioritization of military-related terms in the Academic Dictionary of Contemporary Czech (ASSČ). Traditionally, entries are published alphabetically, but due to societal needs, thematic entries like military terms are released earlier. This approach benefits both users and compilers by providing timely access to relevant terms. The article also highlights similar practices in foreign dictionaries, such as Merriam-Webster and Duden, which respond to current events by publishing relevant terms. The Czech neologism database, Neomat, has recorded numerous new words arising from the Russian aggression against Ukraine. The article concludes with a list of 15 selected military terms, emphasizing the importance of timely and relevant lexicographical work in response to societal changes.
