The author examines the concept's deviations due to some erroneous constructions of words, by considering the words oxidase, cryostat and apoptosis. But he insists much more on the bandy-legged structures linked to these words which deviate totally from any significance attached "officially" to them and leading to false deductions. The author conveys all scientists to use: oxydase, cryotome and Programmed Cell Death, or PCD, forgetting all other queer non-sense words. He suggests to use the word "cytoptosis".
