This word is from tsuwm's wwftd, at http://home.mn.rr.com/wwftd/
The url tsuwm doesn't bring up the word. Bug him about it.

which seems to me a dandy word, far from worthless.I found a couple sites where
it was used for a very fine small research vessel, and two entries in an online dictionary:
Questuary
(Ques"tu*a*ry) a. [L. quaestuarius, from quaestus gain, profit, quaerere, quaesitum, to seek for, earn.] Studious of profit.
[Obs.] Sir T. Browne.

Questuary
(Ques"tu*a*ry), n. One employed to collect profits. [R.] "The pope's questuaries." Jer. Taylor.

It might even be a good title for an investment broker specialized in serving venture capitalists.

>Bug him about it.

as a preemptive strike, the site doesn't normally get updated until later in the day!

(this has the added advantage of subscribers reporting all of my typos..)

Oh man--what a disappointment! I'd envisioned the word meaning some long...well, quest. I was already envisioning myself proclaiming, "My entire life has been an incredible questuary...", and then whoomp: I read the real definition!

I'd have thought it was a particularly devout knight errant in search of the Holy Grail.

nah, it's where all the adventurous birds go to rest between their travels.

Or a place where beleaguered questions can go without fear of being answered.

Or where teachers keep the bones of those awkward questions they ask you before they've woken you up by calling your name in that tone of voice ... e.g.

"What is the capital of Baluchistan, Jones!"

Or -- a hole in a tree where candestine sweethearts leave secret notes for one another

Or a place where beleaguered questions can go without fear of being answered.
Yes! A cemetery for questions! [nod of approval]

Or the mouth of a river whose name you've forgotten (or never knew?)

...So is this some sort of backwards round of Hogwash?

I suppose that when the tide is flowing backwards into the mouth of the unknown river, it will fill up with what British Sailors used to call "The Hogwash."

So - yes, FB, you've got it about right.
