prettygoodwordberceuse (baer-SYOOZ) - n., a lullabye, a cradlesong; a soothing musical composition, usually in 6/8 time.
And because this came up on my list, I now have two of Fauré's Berceuses earworming me. (This is not a bad thing.) The English is, of course, an adoption from French, taking only one of its meanings, as there it's the feminine of berceur, cradle rocker, from bercer, to rock, from Old French bers, cradle, with a root I'm not finding.
