Paranym
A word that says one thing but means the opposite.
Differs
from euphemism in that the real meaning is opposite from the apparent meaning. Differs from antonym in that the
paranym
is intended to misdirect or
conceal
the real opposite meaning.
The
Biblical
term "
everlasting
life" is a
paranym
that actually refers to death.
