"Conception" is no good either. I love made up words, but the suffix "-ion" creates an abstract noun out of a verb. In this case, concept is already an abstract noun so "-ion" just makes a longer, less efficient, less correct form of the exact same word.
I was just reading this book of Edgar Allan Poe's poems(not that I really much like his poetry) and at the ending there is a letter which he'd written, to someone unaddressed, and thought you may find this
interdasting.

Of Coleridge:

"He has imprisoned his own conceptions by the barrier he has erected against those of others."

So if you don't like the word, tell it to Edgar Allan Poe.
