Etymoron

What is Etymoron?


1.

It means one who is ignorant of the true meaning of a word. A person who repeatedly misuses a word or group of words or one who incorrectly defines a word or a group of words. Usually implies one who does so unintentionally but with a flagrant disregard for the true origin of a word.

Derived from the modern words etymology (the study of speech & word origins) and moron (one who is foolish, and lacking in intelligence).

The Urban Dictionary's rating system helps keep the etymorons in check.
