miswanted

[edit]

This does not seem to me to be an actual word. Probably and protologism?--Williamsayers79 13:29, 17 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Judging from b.g.c.'s 50 hits for "miswant-miswanted-miswants-miswanting", this seems to be a genuine, albeit rare, term used in the social sciences. (Incidentally, there are 50% more hits for "miswanting" than for "miswant-miswanted-miswants", which suggests to me that miswanting is most often used as a substitute for the missing de-verbal noun.) —RuakhTALK 15:39, 17 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
