Yes, there is such noun in English, but it can't be used to describe a person. FYI it is derived from the Latin word meaning cotton. |

FYI it is derived from the Latin word meaning cotton.- That one I had to look up. I only studied latin for 4 years and that wasn't one of the words that stuck in the brain cells. I knew it wasn't a noun applied to living breathing folks, only to the way some of us talk. 8) JF |

Just a further reflection on your intellect that words you can't spell or understand must "slither up from the depths". |

Well educated people, with perfect grasp of their native tongue intuitively know if the word fits in the context or not.
