-ONYM. [Through
LATIN from GREEK
ónuma/ónoma name]. A word base or combining form that stands either for a WORD (as in
SYNONYM) or a
NAME (as in
pseudonym). Words containing
-onym have two kinds of adjective: with
-ous, as in
synonymous (having the nature or quality of a synonym:
synonymous words) or with
-ic, as in
synonymic (concerning synonyms:
synonymic relationships). The form
-onymy indicates type, as with
synonymy (the type of sense relation in which words have the same or similar meaning) and
eponymy (the category of word-formation that concerns words derived from people's names). Because
-onym begins with
o (the commonest Greek
THEMATIC VOWEL, as in
biography), the base form is sometimes taken to be
-nym, an assumption reinforced by the initial
n of the equivalent terms
nomen in Latin and
name in English. As a result, some recent technical terms have been formed on
-nym: for example,
characternym and
paranym. See
ACRONYM,
ANTONYM,
EPONYM,
HETERONYM,
HOMONYM,
HYPONYM,
RETRONYM.
