  Paronym - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A paronym or paronyme in linguistics may refer to two different things: a word that is related to another word and derives from the same root, e.g.
Some paronyms are truly synonymous, but only under the rarest of conditions.

Thus "being" is meant many ways, but all looking to one origin, b5-b6: as substances (ousiai), as states (pathE) of substance, as "ways to substance" (hodos eis ousian), or "ceasings to be" (phthorai), or privations (sterEseis), or makings or being made or productive of substance or things having to do with it, and their negations.
As they all refer to the first, as when one is meant as a paronym of the first one, it must be held likewise about the same and the other and [the rest of] the tanantia.
Paronyms differ in their flexion (case, gender, tense, etc.), but they "have an address to a name" (diapheronta tE ptOsei tEn kata tounoma prosEgorian echei), i.e.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2000.08.11
Instead, M. points out that predicates that are in a subject may be homonymous, paronymous or heteronymous with their subject.
And how does one paronymize predicates like 'to the left of the man in the yellow hat?' Nevertheless, M. argues, it is by means of paronymy that Aristotle can show the Late-Learners how a name can be predicated of a different name: it is not true that man is beauty, but paronymously man is beautiful.
His reason for joining paronymy and homonymy is that he views homonymy as a degenerate case of paronymy: whereas the courageous man is so-called paronymously from courage (the words differ), the white (thing) is called homonymously from the white (as general quality).

 Portraying Analogy
Description: paronyms are not same words but are variants upon the same root with meaning differences that correlate in a law-like way with the morphological variation.
The predicates of the analogy theory {is merely equivocal/is analogous by proportionality/is metaphorical/is analogous denominatively} differentiate, by analogy of proportionality, to encompass paronyms.
For the key words of the analogy theory itself, when applied to paronyms, automatically adjust and no longer presuppose that the things classified are same words, but now presuppose on the contrary that the things classified are morphologically variants of one another.

Thus, the noun "crab" includes a pointer named hyperonym which points at the lexical entry "seafood" and another pointer named paronym which points at the adverb "crabbily".
As shown in (6) this base form provides the seed for a transformation which produces a pronoun ("I") a verb of evaluation taking an edible direct object ("hate"), the hyperonym of the base noun ("seafood"), the verb "said" and the noun "Tom" and finally the adverbial paronym of the base noun.
As we have shown elsewhere (Lessard and Levison 1993), specifications of a similar sort enable us to computationally model a range of verbal humour, including, for example homonym riddles (Terban 1982), as shown in (7a,b).

A paronym is defined as "a word which is derived from another, or from the same root; a derivative or cognate word." To paronomize is to adapt a foreign word by giving it a native form.
The opposite term to paronym is heteronym, where a "different" name is given to a foreign term.

Substances and Paronyms We shall take the subject of experiencing to be a “primitive” substance, rather than a substratum/bare particular.
Their modal differences, however, suggest that they should not be identified: a paronym, unlike its substantial element, cannot exist sans its quale.
Both assume that a subject is “closer” to her experiences than she would be were the performance of a mental act required to grasp their qualia.30 To model this closeness, Stubenberg prefers to dispense with the subject of qualia.

A person is, thus, a (primitive) substance who forms along her experiencing what Aristotle referred to as a “paronym,” in Frank Lewis words, an “accidental compound,” consisting of a substance and one of its accidents: e.g., Socrates and (his) sensing redly.
We must now determine the relation between (the substance that is) a person and any accidental compound of which she has become an element.
The relation between a substance and a co-located paronym should also be treated this way.

The noun is paronymy and the two adjectives are quite similar to those of the other words in this series: paronymous and paronymic.
Paronym isn't widely used to mean "cognate", a word that is similar to a word in another language, like English water and German Wasser.
It has several paronyms in English: for, fro (as in 'to and fro'), and from.

The Subject is Qualia: Paronyms and Temporary Identity
How should we understand the subject and predicate terms and the copula in sentences such as ‘He is listening to Harvest’ or ‘She is seeing the sights of London’?
Elaborating upon adverbialism, I shall argue that the subject of experiencing is a primitive substance that is temporarily identical to the paronym that it forms along with a quale.

Usage: This word is used mostly by linguists who distinguish between paronyms and inflections.
An inflection is a variant of a word that does not change its basic meaning as "derived" and "deriving" are inflectional forms of "derive." These endings do not change the verb significantly.
The endings on the paronyms in the Definition above, however, change the verb into an adjective and noun with meanings significantly different from that of the verb.

It is the awareness that the words of poetry -- of the poem itself and within the great body of poetry that spans time -- are not and cannot be mere symbols to which a particular significance is meted out.
They escape such manipulation and categorization with their tricks and guises of metaphor and conceit, paronym, double entendre, innuendo, cacozelon, metonymy, irony, hyperbole, exergasia, wit, and so forth.
But more than that, these words occupy a space in which they breathe, move, change shape.

This project is aimed not only at registering instances of the influence of English language in ICT technical documentation, but also how the hegemony of English language reflects upon syntax and ortography of the Spanish language.
INTERGLOS contains 461 instances of linguistic interferences classified within 6 categories: pure anglicisms (129 items); adapted anglicisms (106); ortographic anglicisms (16); Syntactic anglicisms (14); Paronym Semantic Calques (106); Non-Paronym Semantic Calques (37); Neologisms (53).
In our corpus analysis, we have put special emphasis on the traits of originally produced English discourse, as well as distinctive traits of Spanish technical discurse as translated from original English texts.
