oxymoron



I agree that the etymology of "oxymoron" is itself an oxymoron, but I was
thinking of "sharp/stupid" (
http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=oxymoron ). Moros
sounds like moron, so I looked it up (
http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=moron ), and it
says stupid, foolish. What is this other definition (moros=destiny,
disgrace,death)?
