It is called abuse of language the fact of using a word in an unexpected or often criticized sense, or of using a word replacing another, being it a metonymy or not. Strictly speaking, replacing a word with another is not an abuse of language, but an inadequacy of terms. This “inadequacy” is often at the origin of a semantic evolution, a trivial and universal phenomenon.
