Never thought such a word existed except in a South African context.

One could consider the medical context as well.
I think the South African context evolved from the medical context of a famous individual.

|

|

Yes. It is from his autobiography that I first heard this word some decades ago.

It is actually Portuguese and does not relate to Latin or English origin. Original name was a bit different and later on it was changed to adapt to local residents. Interestingly, the words you are referring belong to different languages which kind of represents SA's culture. Too many languages and cultures living together. I will get down my philosophy horse now and climb make some tea horse.

It's a word that is in everyday use, here in the UK. I would guess the same is true for across the pond.

Well, not everyday, and normally with a prefix! 
It's a fairly well known word though.

I got it by my wife's help who got it from a store name near our home. And yes, with a prefix.

In use mostly by women. I almost had it but I tried a military word with all but one of the same letters.

Apparently a much used word in the UK, but not a word I know.
In the end, I had three letters in place, a fourth to put in one of the other two spots, and this was the only word that sounded like it wouldn't summon some Aztec deity.

I had difficulties with this one because it's so similar to an Italian word that I was skipping it, not even recognizing its presence in English - also it's used in a very specific field.
Today I discovered that the word LATIN doesn't exist in the Worlde dictionary, except that last time I checked LATIN is a language...

Uninstalled old version: Check.
Cleared all nuget caches and temp folders: Check.
Installed new version: Check
Clean and build the project: Check, no errors.
Run the app: blows up when calling the package, no error caught, no warnings, nothing written to App Insights, nothing useful in Event Viewer.
Argh!

fuslogvw (fusion* log viewer) may help you.
Open your Visual Studio Developer command prompt as admin.
c:\dev>fuslogvw <ENTER>
This will start an app which can tell you which assembly is failing to bind.
NOTE: Make sure you turn it off afterwards because their is s heavy penalty for leaving it running
See Fuslogvw.exe (Assembly Binding Log Viewer) - .NET Framework | Microsoft Docs[^] for details.
And, oh yeah, it ain't a pretty tool, but it can help you where nothing else can in these situations.
*Fusion was the original code name for .NET Framework

Odd. It is filled with multiple entries like:
LOG: Attempting download of new URL file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Professional/MSBuild/Current/Bin/NuGet.Frameworks/NuGet.Frameworks.EXE.
But also for a gazillion Microsoft DLLs like C:/Users/<me>/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer/resources/app/ServiceHub/MSAL-Services/IdentityService/Microsoft.VisualStudio.Telemetry.DLL
And each group is followed by:
LOG: All probing URLs attempted and failed.
I see nothing related to the package I'm having issues with.
