Latin term or phrase: contradictia in adjecto
Dear all,

I am looking for the precise meaning of this phrase: does it mean 'contradiction in terms'? Forgive me also if my spelling is imperfect!

Thanks,

D.

a contradiction in what has been supposed/said


Explanation:
'Contradictia' is certainly for 'contradictio'. 'Adiecto' seems to be the perfect passive participle, used substantively, of the verb 'adicere', which sometimes means 'to add a new thought to what has preceded', sometimes 'to add what has already been said'.
