Backronym?
editI was surprised not to find Backronym here. There is an entire article about it on Wikipedia, and the word does seem to have entered common usage. I'm not enough of a linguistic wordy to know if it would be okay to add the word to Wiktionary. Cheers. N2e 22:06, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
- Whoops. Should have checked. Even though the word is not in this list, it does have an entry in Wiktionary: backronym. Perhaps I should just have added it to the list.
- Aha, good catch — I've added it to the list. (It could be argued that it derives from acronym rather than (o)nym, but I think it's alright to list it here.) — Beobach 22:18, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for adding that! N2e 05:50, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
