Possibly so, Mav'...
Back to 'etaereate' from tsuwm's link.
There are so many dictionaries online and so many words-a-day sources. tsuwm's worthlessness appeals to me because he addresses the possible worthlessness of words.
But in reading about the etaereates, the thought struck me that it would be fun, if one had the time and inclination, to have a lexicon of worthless words the definitions of which also contained rather rare words.
etaerio [edited] = an aggregate of drupelets
That's an ideal entry for such a dictionary.
And I do mean 'worthlessness' in the most affectionate application possible.
Oh, and etaereate spelled backwards is etaereate. Has anyone else noticed?
Well, no one could have noticed since I just made up the word...but it might exist. Must go googling...
Edit: Nope. Etaereate isn't on Google. Shoot. It is a very good word I just invented, and I plan to use it frequently, especially since it's such a lovely palindrupe.
