Is the 4th word 'bunch'? 15 might not be etymology, which I think applies to words in general. A new word is a neologism, so maybe something like 'neology' related to this?
Edit: I just look up the lyrics to Frosty the Snowman (does that count as cheating?):
He led them down the streets of town, right to the traffic cop;
and only paused a moment, when he heard him holler, "Stop!"
which I guess gives us 35.0 -
