the worthless word for the day is: delirament
[fr. L. deliramentum, fr. delirare, to be crazy]
archaic an insane fancy: craze, delusion
"I stood then in the door of a little ante-room
opening into the drawing-room and looking on the
courtyard, and gazed thence at those three pictures,
as if it were all a delirament, till out of them Effie
stepped in person, and danced, trilling to herself,
through the groups, flashing, sparkling, flickering,
and disappeared."
- Atlantic Monthly, Vol. 11, No. 63, January, 1863
thanx to Project Gutenberg EBooks..
with some of these, it's easy to see why they were dropped.
