Cilicious

/sɪˈlɪʃəs/ adjective

Definition

Resembling or relating to a cilice; rough, uncomfortable, or characteristic of a penitential garment.

Etymology

From 'cilice' plus the suffix '-ous' meaning 'full of or characterized by,' creating an adjective describing cilice-like qualities.

Kelly Says

This word is incredibly rare in modern English but shows how creatively medieval people described textures and textures—cilicious essentially means 'uncomfortably scratchy in a religiously meaningful way.'
