prettygoodwordperigraph (PER-i-graf) - n., a careless or inaccurate delineation.
From Greek peri-, around, about + graphos, writing. I am unable to find this in dictionaries other than Noah Webster's 1828 dictionary and the unabridged revisions of 1913 and 1996, which means I don't know if that delineation is a description or a drawing, and the roots don't disambiguate -- so I say it'll work for either, so there.
