I am on a mailing list for weird words ("Erin's Weird and Wonderful Word of the Day"😉. Here's yesterday's word:
*********************************************************
scacchic
[SKACK-kick]
a rare adjective meaning 'of or pertaining to chess'. From an Italian word
meaning 'chess'.
*********************************************************
I get a skack-kick out of that word. 😉
