Creation and Usage Notes

This word was coined in honor of author Lillian Csernica. I can't remember what exactly led to it, but Lillian is someone I've met up with several times at various conventions, and I believe I needed a word "love" for The Art of Language Invention, and that was the next time I needed a new root.
