malatrope - literally a sick word.


No, the word is malaprop, defined as " the unintentional misuse of a word by confusion with one that sounds similar". So in this context, maybe 'malatrope' is a malaprop.

The word was derived from a character in Richard Brinsley Sheridan's play The Rivals (1775). Mrs. Malaprop consistently uses language malapropos, that is, inappropriately.
