An oxymoron is a figure of speech, usually one or two words, in which seemingly contradictory terms appear side by side.

This contradiction is also known as a paradox. In speech, oxymorons can lend a sense of humor, irony, or sarcasm.

➖The word "oxymoron" is itself oxymoronic, which is to say contradictory. The word is derived from two ancient Greek words: 

🔻"oxys" = sharp
🔻"moronos" = dull or stupid
