That is a good word, LP. I have seen it previously (apparently..??) because I read Candide at some point many years ago. Well, the English translation I mean. The word never 'stuck' though as you might expect. I certainly do not remember it. Of course, I was younger and foolish back then and remember little of my literature studies.
Candide, huh? That Voltaire.! What a guy.!! Speaking of which, I just ordered a French language version of Candide. I'm going to struggle through it, then try to compare it to an English translation. Should be interesting.
GOOD word.!!! And it's forced me to return to my French language study too (Well, maybe... & maybe not..).
Oh.... And Panther fans... "YES" visibly apathetic, and likely will be for awhile.
