📚 Misnomer, noun. 🔉 /mɪsˈnəʊmə/ 🇬🇧 ❓ Definition: A wrong or inaccurate use of a name or term. ❗️ Examples: 1. To call this ‘neighbourhood policing’ would be a misnomer. 2. The term ‘student work’ seems a misnomer here, given the clarity and maturity of her production. 3. The mistake is in a way only a misnomer, but terminological infelicities have a way of breeding conceptual confusion, and so it is here. 4. Unfortunately, this infamous misnomer was only the first of a series of mistakes made by the first foreigner to set eyes on the place: Hiram Bingham. 5. In the post-modern context, however, it would be a misnomer to use family in this sense. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌀 @cambridge_dic
