Word of the Week Comp #27

[MoeFOH]

Some slight tweaks to the comp for 2020... 

Every week we're going to have a poll about the definition of a forgotten or obscure word. From the four options pick the definition you believe to be the correct one. Voters who pick the correct definition go into the draw for an El Pres Sampler!!   (Drawn Tuesday morning, Brisbane time. Please note: Polls don't show on Tapatalk, but you can participate via a web version of the site)

NO GOOGLING OR DICTIONARY USE! We're using the honour system. It's just a bit of fun. If you know, you know. If you don't, have a stab in the dark or an educated guess (if you prefer that term). 

You may elaborate about your choice in the topic thread below if you wish but no posting of any official definitions, etc., that will give away the game for others. 

Now you know the drill, vote away!  Good luck and may this comp prove to be a fun palaestra that turns us all into better word-grubbers, if you know what I mean...

I’ll keep trying...and trying ?

I can't even find the definition to tell if I was right or wrong!  Time will tell I suppose ?

Oofah, foiled again.

Same here, but it gets worse. I don’t even remember what I guessed this afternoon.

One day I will get it right. And it was fun to find the right answer.

Finally, a right answer!  My 10% hit rate stays intact.

Back to back. my theory is working, now i just need to get the lucky draw, lol

I DQd myself this week as the answer was discoverable without going to any search engines.
