Awesome Word (Or Phrase) of the Unspecified Random Time Period
Zenzizenzizenzic: Noun: An obsolete term for the 8th power of a number, or the square of a square squared. The zenzizenzizenzic of 2, for instance, is 16. Now obsolete except as a curiosity, zenzizenzizenzic also has the most z's of any word in the Oxford English Dictionary. I ran across this word in the third Emily the Strange book, Dark Times, and, having verified that it is really a word, am sharing it with you. Enjoy!
