👉 Epichilia is a term used in linguistics and philosophy to describe the relationship between words that are related by common origin or meaning, but do not share any syntactic structure. Epichilia can be defined as "the relationship between two words with no obvious syntactic relation." In other words, they are like synonyms, but have different meanings. In linguistics, epichilia are used in the context of word pairs where one is a synonym of another and has no clear grammatical relationship
