| Aug 15, 2015 at 0:14 | comment | added | Dan Bron | There is only one hit for it in the COCA corpus (a false positive), meaning it has no contemporary currency. But I did spot it in several compendia of "old weird words" in Google Books. But bear in mind people throughout the ages loved wordplay and neologisms as much as any living person, so while someone may have coined this word a long time ago, that doesn't mean it saw any meaningful usage. | |
