Eisegesis

eisegesis \ahy-si-JEE-sis\ , noun;
1.
An interpretation that expresses the interpreter's own ideas, bias, or the like, rather than the meaning of the text.

I had a great opportunity to use this word in a conversation. It would have fit into the conversation with ease, but I forgot the proper pronunciation so I opted out.

Later, I would have a second opportunity to use this word. Once again proper pronunciation was missing. I went for it anyway. Nailed it.
