I think that, when I've encountered this word in the past, I have always been able to ascertain its meaning from context. I've definitely seen it previously.

This write-up included a word about which I've previously posted, when it was itself a WOTD, but today I couldn't recall its exact meaning. And, as I predicted then, I mispronounced it.
