OP
I write today seeking the right word to describe the verbal phenomenon of having a title or a word provide a socially positive cover or soft sell for a a more hard fast direct title or concept. For instance, the "Human Rights Campaign" is the tile used by the Gay rights movement. The "Environment Sustenance Initiative," is used by the logging and paper industry. What is the word to describe this verbal phenomenon. Does it end in"nym?"
