Added as an anonymous one-liner. I've cleaned it up, but am not sure it's attestable. Equinox ◑ 15:51, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
- Eccentricated is attested, I think, and seems to be either an adjective (having eccentricity, of an ellipse or the like) or a participle (made to have eccentricity), but I'm not sure which. This uses it in "have been eccentricated from": does that make it a verb? DCDuring? this is invisible to me, but the search-result page's snippet reads " […] Milton cramps with hard words and eccentricates by […] ", fwiw. Usenet shows but three hits, in none of which do I understand what the word means: [1], [2], [3].—msh210℠ 17:26, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
- I have added two quotations to the entry. On Usenet it seems, that it is an eggcorn of accentuate. - -sche 07:31, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
- Possibly cited. There are a few more quotations of "eccentricated shaft" one could add. - -sche 02:37, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
- It is marginal, but kept. - -sche (discuss) 02:35, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
