If you don’t know what it means, you’re probably going to need to look it up.
Yeah, but I’m not sure that’s widely known…

Sounds erotic.
It also sounds esoteric in spanish, which feels weird cause that means it isn’t latin. Turns out it isn’t. It’s a latinization of a greek word esoterikos, which means “belonging to the inner circle”
You think so? I feel like it is relatively common, but user experience may vary.
Had to explain it to a coworker. I’m glad you have lots of people around you who know big words. :)
Upon further reflection, I might not be the best measure—I’m an occultist who is also currently writing a book. The word esoteric may only be common for my situation specifically, lol.

That makes it autological, a word that describes itself.

But is “nonautological” autological?

It’s like the paradox about whether the set of sets that don’t contain themselves contains itself
