paronym \ˈpæɹ.ə.nɪm\
- (Linguistique) Mot étymologiquement apparenté.
Words are said to be Paronyms when they are derived from the same root, whether that root belongs to the original English (Anglo-Saxon) stock, or has been introduced into the language from some other tongue. For instance, the following words are paronyms, being all derived from the Latin root, signifying to put or place: compose, depose, interpose, oppose, dispose, impose, expose, repose, transpose, propose, and suppose.
— (John Mitchell Bonnell, A Manual of the Art of Prose Composition, 1867, page 38)Paronyms are morphologically variant (and, for the most part meaning related, but not univocal) n-tuples derived (synchronically) from a common root. […] for example ‘explain’, ‘explanation’, ‘explicable’ and ‘explicability’, and, in Latin, explaneo and explanatio.
— (James F. Ross, Portraying Analogy, 1981, ISBN 9780521238052, p. 137)

Notes
- Ce mot est un faux-ami. Le sens 2 est probablement une erreur à cause de la langue maternelle de l’auteur.
