  1. Pertaining to antiperistasis.
    • 1899, Thomas Love Peacock, ‎ Richard Garnett, Nightmare Abbey, page 75:
      I am sorry to find you participating in the vulgar error of the reading public, to whom an unusual collocation of words, involving a juxtaposition of antiperistatical ideas, immediately suggests the notion of hyperoxysophistical paradoxology.
