In the old days we called it "looseness of association." It was not meant to be a compliment.
And don't forget I didn't come up with anything at all for sprezza-whatever, or palimpsest, or even gelasin. To name just a few recent ones.

J-J apparently being Away From Keyboard so far this week, I'll post today's WAD:
Contranyms:
PERUSE
PRONUNCIATION:
(puh-ROOZ)
MEANING:
verb tr.:
1. To read or examine with great care.
2. To read or examine in a casual manner.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Let's try
PERTUSE -- to spread an illness by coughing ("Pertussis" is whooping cough)
P.S. Just thinking out loud:
-- "scan" is approximately the same thing !
-- PERFUSE is already a real word
-- so is PERUKE
-- PERUE is mixed up mixed up [PUREE]
:-)
