In 1980, Frank Mankiewicz—then president of National Public Radio—coined the word retronym, for a term specifying the original meaning of word after a newer meaning has overtaken it. The term was popularized by New York Times “On Language” columnist William Safire in a 1992 column, where the writer wondered what people would call “regular mail” after the advent of email (snails didn’t come up). Retronyms had been used long before 1980, though; here are a few of them. Anyone still have a landline? :) Thanks to mental_floss for sharing!
