goropism

noun2

1. •
   A hypothesis, similar to the one originally propounded by Goropius which is now discredited, that some attested or modern language such as Dutch, Hebrew, or Turkish was the original language of human beings.
2. •
   An absurd etymology proposed as part of such a hypothesis.
