Palabra o termino de moda
No existe una traducción exacta. Hay una connotación ligeramente negativa que la versión española no transmite. Por lo que yo he visto este es un problema común (la falta de traducción directa) entre todas las preguntas para los glosarios. Esta es precisamente la razón por la cual casi siempre se utiliza el Inglés.

"lo último en"
--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------
What I mean is precisely that it has that double meaning, one of them conveying, as you imply, just "something new", while the second carries also that 'word' idea.
Definition from
DICCIONARIO DE LA LENGUA ESPAÑOLA (RALE
Ser (algo) lo último: fr. coloq. Ser el colmo de lo admirativo o de lo peyorativo. También "Ser (algo)el último grito en (el campo o especialidad)
Example sentences:
KONSEKU: LO ÚLTIMO EN PASATIEMPOS (KONSEKU)
Pelo 'pixie', lo último en Hollywood (EL PAIS)
Assinatura, lo último en Lisboa (ABC (Cultura y Viajes))
Note from asker:
| I understand that "lo último en" means "the latest in" or the "ultimate in"; however, "buzzword" is a compound word that includes the terms "buzz" and "word". In that context, the first means something that is being extensively murmurredl and the second, obviously means "word" or "term". Consequently, "lo último en" does not include one of the basic/inherent meanings of "buzzword", which is "palabra, vocablo, or término". |

Milton Printemps
: "lo último en" does not reflect the inherent meaning of "buzzword"

In European Spanish, although it does not, seem to, it includes also that purpose of impressing laypersons.

Palabra en boga
Definition from
own experience or research:
Estar en boga es estar a la moda, derivado de "vogue" o "fashionable". Una tendencia que está en boga es una tendencia que la gente está utilizando "aquí" y "ahora". Una palabra en boga por tanto es una palabra que está "de moda".
Example sentences:
"Fueron los bonzos vietnamitas quienes pusieron esta palabra en boga en la prensa internacional en los años 60 y 70..." (Apuntes Para un Manual de Estilo Period�)
"...uno de los poetas jóvenes de la Argentina, poeta "de vanguardia", según la palabra en boga, este libro..." (La Utopía de América)
"... con la "civilización", palabra en boga, pretendía atacarse la actitud..." (Autoridad y gobierno indígena )
