Default [Dixonary] Round 3206: CAAM [Results]

I chose this word because its shape, unlikely for an English word, suggests an exotic borrowing, but its OED definition:Â*
 7. The heddles of a loom.
does not. This choice failed to fool 5 players, who voted it into top spot. Shani Naylor’s padded stocking:
 5. A stuffed leather pad worn inside the leg of a boot.
collected 5 votes, as did Efrem Mallach’s cosmetic:
 2. A yellow arsenic sulfide crystalline mineral used in India as a depilatory, and known in the West as orpiment.
but Shani was also one of the 5 perspicacious players who voted for 7 and so she takes the deal.

 1. An auxiliary camshaft; an early engine which had a supplementary engine to drive the valves while the main engine provided the direct locomotive power.
