prettygoodwordlant - n., aged urine.
Used for many things in pre-industrial times, among them as a cleaner (using the ammonia), for processing as a source of saltpeter for gunpowder, and to flavor ale. Yes, really -- lant sometimes refers specifically to lanted ale.
And that ends a week of words from Reading the OED.
