Dear mister Rhuby. This looks like plain Ladin to me. Are you sure this is an English dictionary word?

Yup. Straight out of the OED, no less. It is, of course, a Latin loan word, like so many in our language but has been in use for some time.
EDIT: The latin word from which it derives means something rather different from its "English" meaning, BTW. So those of you with a Classical education don't really have much of an advantage, pehaps?

Thank you, all. I have four, now - I could really do with another two or three, at least. Please?
