1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

  • Structure: Written 誤植 and read ごしょく, it is a typographical or printing error in which characters are wrongly set, omitted, or substituted.
  • Basic usage: It appears in a list of first-edition misprints and a person's name corrected before printing.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

  • Typography rather than factual mistake
    • The error lies in the printed characters or setting, not necessarily in the underlying claim.
