An eponym is a word derived from the name of a person, often to honor their contributions or discoveries, such as "sandwich" from the Earl of Sandwich. An example of an eponym is "Hodgkin's lymphoma," named after the physician Thomas Hodgkin, who identified the disease. Eponyms can be found in various fields, including medicine, literature, and everyday language.
