Encountered this word in the book I'm reading.
"He was mindful of the subdeties of rank."
Google finds examples of the word being used, yet no dictionary seems to list it, or its presumed root subdety.I'm only 15% into this book and have already encountered almost a half dozen words I've never heard of.
orchidectomy
vade mecum
Unking - this one is a word, not makes no sense in the context it is used:
"He unhooked the body brace and began Unking it to Mac's armour."
Not only it is oddly capitalized, but it's the wrong kind of verb. It would be unkinging.
