I tried, but it seems to have disappeared from that usage before Google came around.
I learned the meaning of that word from one of the books in "The Cat Who..." series. It's a really good series. The main character is a reporter and a bit of a literary genius; so naturally, he uses an extravagant vocabulary. Even though there are a lot of formal and archaic terms, they are put into context quite clearly, so they don't disrupt the plot; however, it does make one want to read the books with a dictionary nearby, so as to discover the full meaning of these wonderful words.
