OP satisdiction is another word which can be found in Mrs. Byrne's Dictionary of Unusual, Obscure, and Preposterous Words, although she has the definition slightly wrong. here's how this nonce word was used, apparently the one and only time, by Nathaniel Ward in 164something: "They desire not satisfaction, but satisdiction, whereof themselves must be judges."; implying the last word, or (OED) saying enough. Josepha, or her source, gives us enough said, which doesn't really fit the context. in any event, I wish fervently that I'd discovered this whilst the infamous "last word" thread was transpiring.
