prettygoodwordovicaprid - n., a domestic sheep or goat.
From ovine + caprine, presumably. This is a specialty term in agricultural development, for when one needs to talk about certain mid-sized domesticated ruminants without reference to which type it is. This counts as a pretty good word only because I'm amused enough at how uncommon it is -- enough so it doesn't show up in the usual word-lists.
