A retronym is a newer name for an existing thing that helps differentiate the original form/version from a more recent one. For example, the term "acoustic guitar" was coined with the advent of electric guitars. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ret…

TIL what's a "retronym" being something retroactively renamed so it now makes more sense. Like how "analog clock" used to just be a "clock" before digital clocks and how "The Great War" was later renamed "World War I" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ret…

Earthbound Meets Paper Mario in new Indie RPG - Retronym!

This is a follow up to my last post here about my game, Retronym, and the progress being made on it! I got a good bit of positive response so I thought I would post again now that I have officially showed off some game play!

Here is a quick look at the Action RPG combat system and a new character, the sword wielding half dragon - Alessia from the Medieval Era!

Is there a name for words that apply retroactively? (I'm not thinking of "retronym")

Maybe you've heard the example that Galileo is thought of as a scientist, but the word "scientist" wasn't coined until nearly 200 years after his death. We apply that label to him retroactively.

Is there a word for that kind of thing? I don't believe that "retronym" is the right word, because that's mostly about adding context and clarification due to a change in circumstances. For example, we never needed the term "acoustic guitar" until we had electric guitars.

Thanks!

What will the retronym be for cars once self-driving cars are the norm?

In case you don't know the term, a retronym is a word created to differentiate between old and new versions of something.

Example: "Analog clock" was created once digital clocks came around.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retronym https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_retronyms

What will we call non-self-driving cars? We can't call them manual since we've already used a manual/automatic retronym.
