Fermat Pseudoprime: Also known as
It is common practice to refer to a Fermat pseudoprime just as a pseudoprime.
However, there is a concept in order theory also called a pseudoprime.
Hence the full name Fermat pseudoprime is preferred on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$.
Some sources hyphenate the word pseudo-prime.
A Fermat pseudoprime is also known as a Fermat liar.
