heresy
의미: A belief or opinion that goes against established doctrine, orthodoxy, or widely accepted thinking, especially in religion but also in politics, economics, or culture.
Heresy originally referred exclusively to religious dissent from official Church teaching, but it is now widely used figuratively to describe any opinion that challenges the prevailing consensus. Suggesting that a beloved institution is flawed, or questioning an economic orthodoxy, may be described as heresy — often with deliberate irony or self-awareness. The word 'heretic' denotes the person who holds such views, and 'heretical' is the adjective. In modern usage, calling something heresy often signals that the speaker recognises the idea is controversial but believes it deserves consideration.
