spissy
Wow, Dr. Bill! A real toughy! It's roots seem to be Germanic, spiss, Norwegian to be exact...it seems to have something to do with football in Norwegian. But the only English translation I can find in any Norwegian-English dictionary is jag. Put spiss in the search and you get plenty Norwegian hits.
There's also a spis in Swedish meaning fireplace.
so jag>jagged darkness? hmmm...dunno
fireplace>smokey>foggy darkness?
Here's a url to a Norwegian sports page with spiss used in the headline:

(think it's gonna take someone with a higher speed connection than mine to track this one down)
