Potatory

From Latin potatorius, from Latin potatus, past participle of potare (to drink).

The word potatory has little to do with potatoes, unless the drink in question happens to be aquavit (a dry spirit made from potatoes). Two more familiar cousins of today's word are potion and potable.

How about Poteen?

So I googled further:

2.


a person who acts as a guide, typically on a voluntary basis, in a museum, art gallery, or zoo.

"I won't speak of"
"leaving aside"

jirble (ˈdʒɜːbəl)
