No, that's pretty much what the word "paradox" used to mean, but logicians of the late XIX–early XX century had hijacked it.

    PARADOX, in philoſophy, a propoſition ſeemingly abſurd,
      as being contrary to to ſome received opinion, but yet true
      in fact.
        No ſcience abounds more with paradoxes than geome-
      try: thus, that a right line ſhould continually approach
      to the hyperbola, and yet never reach it, is a true para-
      dox; and in the ſame manner, a ſpiral may continually
      approach to the point, and yet not reach it, in any number
      of revolutions, however great.
