Antonomasia (health)


"1. The substitution of a title for a proper name, as in addressing a physician as ""Doctor"" or a nurse as ""Nurse."" 2. The substitution of a personal name for a noun to designate a member of a group or class, as in calling a geneticist a Mendelist (after Gregor Mendel, who discovered the principles of inheritance). The word antonomasia is Latin, from the Greek antonomazein, to name instead: anti-, instead of + onomazein, to name (from onoma, name). "
