The subject of ghost words came up at wordorigins and someone asked if there were any words now considered legitimate that started life as ghost words. I thought some here may be able to cast some light on this question.

For any of y'all that don't know, a ghost word is a word that got started by accident and exists only in a dictionary. See the thread at wordorigins for further details.
