📚 Misnomer, noun. 🔉 /mɪsˈnəʊmə/ 🇬🇧 ❓ Definition: A wrong or inaccurate name or designation. ❗️ Examples: 1. Morning sickness is a misnomer for many women, since the nausea can occur any time during the day. 2. The latter designation is a misnomer, because a mild degree of ketosis often is present, and a true coma is uncommon. 3. Indeed, the very name seems a misnomer, suggesting that justice has been definitely achieved just by spending a few extra pennies that fair trade guarantees above the market price. 4. I always thought that was a just a cute name… or a misnomer, like Pennsylvania Dutch. 5. The disease name is actually a misnomer because North Carolina reports the most number of cases. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌀 @cambridge_dic
