prettygoodwordagathokakological or agathocacological (a-guh-thoh-KA-kuh-law-ji-kuhl) - (rare) adj., composed of both good and evil (or good and bad attributes).
Coined in the 1830s from Ancient Greek roots agathós, good + kakós, bad + an adjectival suffix. A very erudite word, so deploy it carefully.
And that wraps up a week of gigantic words -- and this time I return next week with the usual regular mix.
