Excerpt from Synonyms and Antonyms: Collected and Contrasted
If it should be said that, as a word of grammar, it would have the meaning of pronoun, the answer might be that it is not here used as a grammatical term. The names of the grammatical parts of speech have been already made current in English under Latin stamps; and it would be a waste of the resources of our language to employ a word of Greek formation to express over again what is already expressed by the Latin derivative pronoun. Yet the word Antonym seems to be wanted.
