The word
sophisticate, and its derivations, also has been redefined to mean its opposite. Originally,
sophisticate was used to describe something false, tampered with or defiled; it now describes something, or someone, of a worldly, educated, or highly fashionable status...
Oddly, one other word, from the same root, still retains the original meaning of the root:
sophistry, the use use of false or misleading arguments or deceptive actions for the purpose of deceit...
So, in the vein of the above post, is Fox News sophisticated or sophistry?...
