QUOMODOCUNQUIZE (verb) : to make money in any possible way

Yes, you are not wrong 😂. This word is one of the most unusual in the dictionary but this is, despite that fact, still fascinating to know :D

- Origin: this comes from Latin word " quomodocunque" which means in whatever way . It once appeared in the Oxford English Dictionary with only one recorded use by Thomas Urquhart :" Those quomodocunquizing clusterfists and rapacious varlets'

From: The Works of Sir Thomas Urquhart of Cromarty, Knight. Reprinted From the Original Editions, 1834 The Discovery of a Most Exquisite Jewel, 1652


Of course, using this in a normal conversation is not really a good choice.😂 Nobody will know what you mean. But from some logophiles' prespective, this means a lot!
