Dan337 Google (at this time) returns “about 3,390 results” for “Kindrow” that make no mention of “Wordnik”. It primarily (perhaps exclusively) appears as a surname. Thus (as mollusque pointed out), “Wordnik” is a bona fide anadrome (to the extent that it’s a bona fide word). Jan 28, 2011
robdacosta wuo great page May 24, 2010
milosrdenstvi Also Czech, "slovník", from "slova" -- though I don't know what the -nik does. Rather doubt it has anything to do with -nik as in 'peacenik'. If I knew a little less Czech I'd be tempted to set it down as one of the language's interminable diminutives, but that wouldn't make sense anyway... Mar 11, 2010
