👉 Dysphemistic is a term used in English literature to describe an author who uses words that are intentionally misleading or deceptive. It is often used to describe language that is overly verbose, complex, or nonsensical, and can be difficult for readers to understand. Dysphemism is not always intended as a deliberate attempt at deception; it may occur unintentionally when the writer has a particular style or purpose in mind.
