What is the difference in meaning and usage between the words 'mayhem' and 'anarchy'?
From thefreedictionarydotcom:
mayhem:
1. Law The offense of willfully maiming or crippling a person.
2. Infliction of violent injury on a person or thing; wanton destruction: children committing mayhem in the flower beds.
3. A state of violent disorder or riotous confusion; havoc.
Anarchy, on the other hand, is absence of any form of political authority.
A group of people living on an isolated island together without any specific form of government or leader is "anarchy," but it is not "mayhem."
Anarchy and mayhem are not truly interchangeable, though some people hold the belief that, should there be no governing political body, mayhem would occur. This is why they are often incorrectly used.
