( Using numerology for everyday decisions... )
k8cre8 at zenzizenzizenzicI noticed that there was an extreme dearth of "z" words, so, I thought this obscure word would help even out the scales a bit.

zenzizenzizenzic: / ZEN-ziz-EN-ziz-en-zic / noun, German. the eighth power of a number.
This word is obscure, and carries on mostly as a curiosity. It is a word that was used by 16th century mathematicians, and has the distinction of being the word in the OED with the most number of "Zs" in it. The root of the word, "zenzic" is related to the Italian "censo," which means "squared," and is the root of our word "census."
