The sadly uncommon English word “fearnought” is “a thick heavy overcoating that is made of wool often mixed with shoddy and that has a rough shaggy face.” Such overcoating is also known as “dreadnought” according to Merriam-Webster.
I was very disappointed when I discovered the word’s official meaning. Fearnought sounds like such a cool word! And a “thick heavy overcoating” is simply not as cool as it sounds like the word should be!
