OXYMORON 內在矛盾修飾法
CONTRADICTIO in which a noun is modified by an adjective that is inconsistent with the semantic content of the noun, that complex expression being used to make a subtle abstract observation.
Contradiction in terms, typically a nominal expression, but compare also festina lente "hurry slow".
See also PARADOXON which refers to propositions rather than terms.
