Paradox – what does it mean, and other ‘para’ word definitions

By Baldmichael Theresoluteprotector’sson

I thought we might need a light hearted look at the meaning of some words starting with ‘para’, but listening to the sound of the words to come up with a meaning.

So let’s start with the word paradox. The Free Dictionary says it is:

 1. A statement that seems to contradict itself but may nonetheless be true: the paradox that standing is more tiring than walking.

2. A person, thing, or situation that exhibits inexplicable or contradictory aspects: “The silence of midnight, to speak truly, though apparently a paradox, rung in my ears” (Mary Shelley).

3. A statement that is self-contradictory or logically untenable, though based on a valid deduction from acceptable premises.

Anyway, there may be some truth in the following and the words may or may not exist in a dictionary. I will use this link for ideas.

And that’s a paradox for sure!
