"2000 Most Challenging And Obscure Words" by Norman W. Schur.

(pgs 138-9) exoteric - farouche = outsiders.
(pgs 416-7) gematria - gephyrophobia = fear of learning secrets
(pgs 436-7)humuhumunukunukuapua'a - hyleg = fishy science
Love that one!
A fascinating book. Gives entomology and author's opinion. recommended.
