Weariness. ''On a long trip one can begin to feel a certain fessitude.''

This word appears in only one 16th century dictionary. Can't do much with that.

And from whence did you drag this word, Grogie? I'm guessing the Good Doctor had to dig pretty deep to dredge it up. Should we put it in our personal vocabularies?

"From whence" or simply "whence"? Any thoughts on this one, anyone?

From whence is probably a redundancy.
