mondegreenn.

Brit.

/ˈmɒndəɡriːn/, U.S.

/ˈmɑndəˌɡrin/

Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Mondegreen.

Etymology: < the name Lady Mondegreen, a misinterpretation of the phrase laid him on the green in the ballad ‘The Bonny Earl of Murray’; coined by S. Wright (see quot. 1954), who introduces the misinterpreted phrase as follows:1954 S. Wright in Harper's Mag. Nov. 48/1 When I was a child, my mother used to read aloud to me from Percy's Reliques, and one of my favorite poems began, as I remember: Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands, Oh, where hae ye been? They hae slain the Earl Amurray, And Lady Mondegreen.

A misunderstood or misinterpreted word or phrase resulting from a mishearing, esp. of the lyrics to a song.

1954 S. Wright in Harper's Mag. Nov. 49/1 The point about what I shall hereafter call mondegreens, since no one else has thought up a word for them, is that they are better than the original.

1957 Harper's Mag. Dec. 6/3 When I saw Sylvia Wright's lead paragraph on ompremity (October) I was afraid your penetrating exposer of mondegreens had lighted on it.

1979 W. Safire in N.Y. Times Mag. 27 May 14/2 Thanks to responsive readers, I have a column on sound defects and a whole closetful of mondegreens.

1994 S. Pinker Lang. Instinct vi. 186 The interesting thing about mondegreens is that the mis-hearings are generally less plausible than the intended lyrics.
