Solecism

Definition: a nonstandard grammatical construct; a violation of ettiquite

The etymology traces back through multiple languages, all the way to the ancient Greeks. It’s said to have been coined because the Athenian Greeks thought the grammar of the people of the city Soli (sometimes “Soloi”) was poor and provincial, therefore they called grammatical and verbal mistakes “solecisms.”
