A Forgotten Word - It's Meaning

So what is vampyrarchy? All of you had some very interesting answers and not that far off.

Here is the definition...

"Derisive description from the 1820s for a parasitic group of politicians."

That's right even back in the early 1800s they had names for money "sucking" politician!

King Solomon said it well when he said, "nothing is new under the sun." (Ecclesiates)

I hope to have some other long forgotten words for you in the near future so stay tune!

A Forgotten Word

Can you tell me what this word means or what you think it means? I have but one rule, no researching! That includes the internet!

I'll give you all until February 10th to think up some hopefully interesting ideas!
