retrónimo 42
It is a neologism created by the American journalist Frank Mankiewicz (as retronym) for words or phrases that at some point had to be modified or updated and thus avoid confusion for later versions. An example would be the 'steam locomotive', which was in principle simply 'locomotive' and later had to be adjusted to differentiate itself from a diesel or an electric.
