Etymologies
- pogono- + -otomy (Wiktionary)
Examples
“One of the examples Blount uses is "pogonotomy," a word for "shaving.”
“Okay, pogon is the Greek for 'beard,' but pogo evokes possum and 'a toy for jumping around on '(OAD) - hence a reader would be excused for assuming that pogonotomy means removal of a possum or a pogo stick from the body.”
