I'd still like to known who coined the word in English and where it was used. To see if Bailey or his source misspelled it. Anyway, epichaerecacous would make a nice adjective and epichaerecaky might be OK for the noun. The Greek erb epichairo 'to rejoice in something (w. dat.) malignantly' is interesting.
