   paradox

   /ˈparədɒks/

   noun

   • 1. a seemingly absurd or contradictory statement or proposition which when investigated may prove to be well founded or true: "the uncertainty principle leads to all sorts of paradoxes, like the particles being in two places at once"
   • ▪ a statement or proposition which, despite sound (or apparently sound) reasoning from acceptable premises, leads to a conclusion that seems logically unacceptable or self-contradictory: "the liar paradox"
   • ▪ a person or thing that combines contradictory features or qualities: "cathedrals face the paradox of having enormous wealth in treasures but huge annual expenses"

   Word Origin mid 16th century (originally denoting a statement contrary to accepted opinion): via late Latin from Greek paradoxon ‘contrary (opinion)’, neuter adjective used as a noun, from para- ‘distinct from’ + doxa ‘opinion’.
