Fair enough, faldage. Clarifying the question, by repeating it as Keiva posted it:
What other words were "stolen" from literature for a use completely different from what the literary author had in mind? I have one more such word in mind, far more commonly know, and am holding it back as a challenge. Doubtless there are far more.
