bilby If we have anonymous then I suspect at some stage in the past anonym was in general use. And the concept is useful: anonym, a thing without a name, a thing that is unable to be identified or defined.
Post-script: now that I've listed anonym, WordNET has put up an intriguing definition for it. Dec 27, 2007
john Tomsteele, thanks for 'euonym'. Sarra, Synonym being captialized is an artifact of when I first launched the site, before I'd standardized on lowercase. I guess I find it faintly amusing that it's the only capitalized word (I'm easily amused), so I haven't corrected it. It's amazing how many people have noticed it -- there have been numerous comments and emails. Jan 2, 2007
tomsteele euonym! It won the 1997 spelling bee. Dec 24, 2006
sarra Now, tell us, why is "Synonym" the only capitalised Word I've seen on the whole site? It's most jarring! Dec 10, 2006
