Several players have remarked that the origin of this word is pretty
obvious. But being able to make a good shot at the etymology is not
the same thing as "knowing the word", except in the case of a direct
recent borrowing.

I deliberately chose this word because of a similarity (though not an
exact parallel) to round 974, tedesco.
