prettygoodworddamnification - n., (obs.) that which causes damage or loss.
Note not the loss itself, but the agent. This is obsolete legal jargon, covered in general dictionaries only by Webster's Unabridged, and their source seems to be this entry in Bouvier's 1856 American law dictionary. Make of this what you will.
