After suspecting me of trickery in posting "pudicity", tsuwm has impudicity
to choose as wwftd "pudibund". He is not afflicted therewith.

Besides tsuwm's "pudibund", I remember "moribund" How many other "xxxxbund"
words can we think of?

cummerbund. But there ought to be several more Latin rooted words.
