1836 B. H. Smart Walker Remodelled Paronymous, near to another word in meaning, as distinguished from synonymous..it may be said that there are few if any synonymous words in a language, but many that are paronymous.

1847 New Englander (New Haven, Connecticut) 5 333/1 The employment of different words as synonymous which are not so, and the substitution of one paronymous expression for another, cause them really to argue about two subjects while they suppose they have but one and the same before them.

1996 Florida Today (Nexis) 19 Jan. 8 There's a lot more, but ‘paronym’ tore it! That refers to a word formed from a word in a foreign language. If we're correct..homonym—which is derived from the Greek—is paronymous.

1904 Philos. Rev. 13 521 Paronymous predication is predication per accidens, as contrasted with synonymous, which may be per se.

1963 Mind 72 53 If we are to follow Anselm's point we must, with him, postulate that ‘man’ is not paronymous, in spite of the high medieval assumption..that the presence in the language of ‘humanity’ (‘humanitas’) made it so.

2001 Renaissance Q. 54 20 In a related example at the beginning of Aristotle's Categories, some things are said to be ‘paronymous’, which has been translated denominativa in the Latin tradition and becomes a theory of connotation in such nominalists as William of Ockham.
