Retronim

Retronim adalah nama baru untuk sesuatu yang sudah ada demi membedakan versi awal dengan versi baru. Retronim biasanya dibentuk dengan menambahkan pewatas terhadap suatu kata yang pada awalnya sudah jelas hanya ditujukan kepada suatu konsep, tetapi kemudian perlu dibedakan dengan jenis lain.[1][2]

Misalnya, pada awalnya semua "gitar" adalah "gitar akustik", tetapi kemunculan "gitar listrik" membuat perlunya penambahan kata "akustik" untuk membedakan gitar versi lama dengan versi baru.[3] Jam tangan analog diganti namanya untuk membedakannya dari jam tangan digital setelah jam tangan digital ditemukan.[4]

The Merriam lexies, always strong on etymology, cite the earliest usage they can find of retronym in this column in 1980, which credited Frank Mankiewicz, then president of National Public Radio, as the coiner. He was especially intrigued by the usage hardcover book, which was originally a plain book until softcover books came along, which were originally called paperback and now have spawned a version the size of a hardcover but with a soft cover trade-named with the retronym trade paperback.
