Amphibology \Am`phi*bol"o*gy\ ([a^]m`f[i^]*b[-o]l"[-o]*j[y^]),
   n.; pl. {Amphibologies} (-j[i^]z). [L. amphibologia, for
   amphibolia, fr. Gr. 'amfiboli`a, with the ending -logia as if
   fr. Gr. 'amfi`bolos ambiguous + lo`gos speech: cf. F.
   amphibologie. See {Amphiboly}.]
   A phrase, discourse, or proposition, susceptible of two
   interpretations; and hence, of uncertain meaning. It differs
   from equivocation, which arises from the twofold sense of a
   single term.
