I'm not sure this word is really "unusual", but the etymology interested me, so there you go. Also, it gives me a chance to ask people posting to unusual_words to tag their entries, please

How would you like entries to be tagged? (This one isn't; some communities don't seem to accept tag-invention by members.)

Damn, I knew I meant to tag it! Hopefully fixed now.

I thought if posts were tagged by the word in question, then it would make finding old entries easier.

Still not tagged, sorry. I've had a similar problem with reading_maha, where I can tag entries only with existing tags. Maybe you could ask the maintainer(s) about it.
