I agree. It's not in my active vocabulary (which at my age is shrinking with alarming regularity) but I was composing a comment for another thread this morning and a shadow of this word crossed my mind because it meant exactly what I wanted to say. I still didn't have access to it so I left the comment unfinished and made breakfast then low and behold it was there. I hope it will still be there next week.
