| Misnomer description |
|---|
| A misnomer is a name or term that suggests an idea that is known to be wrong. Misnomers often arise because something was named long before its correct nature was known, or because the nature of an earlier form is no longer the norm. A misnomer may also be simply a word that someone uses incorrectly or misleadingly. The word "misnomer" does not mean "misunderstanding" or "popular misconception", and a number of misnomers remain in common usagewhich is to say, the fact of a word being a misnomer does not necessarily make usage of the word incorrect. |
