It was not until 1923 that the term "fantasist" was used to describe a writer (in this case, Oscar Wilde) who wrote fantasy fiction. The name "fantasy" was not developed until later; as late as J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" (1937), the term "fairy tale" was still being used. An important factor in the development of the fantasy genre was the arrival of magazines devoted to fantasy fiction. The first such publication was the German magazine "Der Orchideengarten" which

Similarly, the portmanteau "Deepa Raya" was coined when Hari Raya Puasa and Deepavali coincided. A practice known as "open house" ("rumah terbuka") is common during the festivities, especially during Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Deepavali, Chinese New Year and Christmas.
