miranymとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Unclear. The final element is -nym or a variant of -onym (as in contranym). The first component may come from the reflective meaning of mirror due to a miranym being reflective of both antonyms in the figurative sense that a mirror reflects or gives a picture of the other.
