Theme week: words from the Phrontistery's Compendium of Lost Words, being a list of words with end-dates in the OED.


cacatory (ka-ka-toh-ree) - adj., of or pertaining to loose bowels.


Accompanied by diarrhea. According to the OED, this was used between 1684 and 1753, and the Phrontistery gives as an example sentence, "For the diners, the effects of the chicken cacciatore, alas, were cacatory." Heh.
