Definition
Relating to or characterized by a bad name, or describing a word that is poorly chosen or inappropriately named.
Etymology
From 'caconym' + the suffix '-ic' (relating to); follows the pattern of Greek-derived adjective formation like 'synonym' → 'synonymic'.
Kelly Says
In biology, taxonomists sometimes have to decide whether to keep scientifically accurate but caconymic names (like the 'Cock of the Rock' bird) or change them—balancing scientific tradition with avoiding embarrassment.
