Context: Malapropism | " The word ""malapropism"" (and its earlier variant ""malaprop"") comes from a character named ""Mrs. Malaprop"" in Richard Brinsley Sheridan's 1775 play The Rivals. Mrs. Malaprop frequently misspeaks (to comic effect) by using words which do not have the meaning that she intends but which sound similar to words that do. Sheridan presumably chose her name in humorous reference to the word malapropos, an adjective or adverb meaning ""inappropriate"" or ""inappropriately"", derived from the French phrase mal à propos (literally ""poorly placed""). According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first recorded use of ""malapropos"" in English is from 1630, and the first person known to have used the word ""malaprop"" in the sense of ""a speech error"" is Lord Byron in 1814. The synonymous term ""Dogberryism"" comes from the 1598 Shakespeare play Much Ado About Nothing in which the character Dogberry utters many malapropisms to humorous effect. Though Shakespeare was an earlier writer than Sheridan, ""malaprop/malapropism"" seems an earlier coinage than ""Dogberryism"", which is not attested until 1836."

Prompt: In Richard Sheridan's 1770s play The Rivals what appropriately named character is noted for her amusing misuse of words?

Answer: Dogberryism
