It seems to me that I must have seen this word before, but I couldn't conjure up anything near its meaning. Not related to rostrum, apparently. Nice explanation of the etymology in the Did You Know? section.catholicon \kə-ˈthä-lə-ˌkän\ - cure-all, panacea
I'm certain I've never seen this one, which is based on the "universal" sense of the word catholic.
