paradox

Paradox should have a paradoxical definition, but not all apparent contradictions are paradoxical, nor are all absurdities. The paradox in paradox is found in its conflicting meanings: a truth seemingly absurd; a self-falsifying statement; anyone or anything apparently contradictory or inconsistent.

Inserting an epithet or equivalent may dissipate the inconsistency: »A circle is a planed-down square
