A self-fullfilling prophecy - in a word
Hey there forum
I was reading The Heart of the Matter by Graham Greene recently and came across an interesting word ('coneism' with an acute accent on the e). I wrote it in the back of the book along with his definition in the text as meaning a self-fulfilling prophecy. When a few days later I looked it up in the shorter oxford dictionary - nada, zip, nil, nothing
Presumably I misspelt the word - If anyone can shed some light on this it would be very much appreciated (I do not want to trawl back to find it)
Hoping someone can help : )
