Thanks for letting me know. The origins of words fascinates me, so any new word has to be examined & read up on. I remember at a gathering once, someone used as an illustration the unlikelihood of anyone reading a dictionary - that its purpose was only to check out words, if needed. No one would ever read one. When I mentioned I enjoyed reading dictionaries, they laughed & said "See what I mean? Only someone as weird as Judy would read one." Made me proud.
