This used to be a thing in dictionaries. My favourite word is "Esquivalience", which was defined in the New Oxford American Dictionary as "The wilful avoidance of ones official responsibilities". Prior to that, the word didn't exist, and it was used to catch people just copying the words from their dictionary. Very similar to paper towns on maps
