Eh???
A malapropism is the unintentional misuse of a word by confusion with one that sounds similar.
Comes from the character Mrs Malaprop A character in Richard Brinsley Sheridan's play
The Rivals (1775),
Mrs. Malaprop consistently uses language malapropos, that is, inappropriately. The word
malapropos comes from the French phrase
mal à propos, made up of
mal, "badly,"
à, "to," and
propos, "purpose, subject," and means "inappropriate."
The Rivals was a popular play, and Mrs. Malaprop became enshrined in a common noun, first in the form
malaprop and later in
malapropism, which is first recorded in 1849
Or like I said perhaps you meant to use that word and I am wrong.
