prettygoodwordestridge (ES-tridj) - n., (obs.) ostrich.
Which makes sense as an alternate spelling once you think of the intermediate form estrich (also obsolete). But this one amuses me more -- the thought of a big lumpus of an ostrich being given a name that sounds like a woodland cousin of a partridge.
