I'm not sure if the timing lines up for the author to have learned the word from this answer, or vice versa, or if it's just a nice coincidence. | |

Band 2 contains words which occur fewer than 0.01 times per million words in typical modern English usage. These are almost exclusively terms which are not part of normal discourse and would be unknown to most people. | |
