Paronomasia
from Word of the Day · host Word of the Day
Paronomasia is a noun that refers to a play on words. Coming directly from a Greek word that means ‘beside’ and ‘name,’ our word of the day has been around since the late 16th century. Here’s an example of paronomasia in use: I call my dad the Prince of Paronomasia. There is no play on words that is too silly or too corny for him to use at a family function.
