Now, tell us, why is "Synonym" the only capitalised Word I've seen on the whole site? It's most jarring!

euonym! It won the 1997 spelling bee.

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.

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.

I just added hydronym, which makes me think of Haku in Spirited Away.
