Example:
O, they have lived long on the alms-basket of words.
I marvel thy master hath not eaten thee for a word;
for thou art not so long by the head as
honorificabilitudinitatibus: thou art easier
swallowed than a flap-dragon."
- Costard, Love's Labour's Lost, Act V, Scene 1 (William Shakespeare)
This word has only appeared once in all of Shakespeare's works; it is a hapex legomenon.
Sorry about missing last week, I was too busy celebrating the 4th and started celebrating way too early.
