praxological

[Jonathan Lighter]

Not in OED:

1985 Michael, Lord Carver in _N.Y. Times_ (Sept. 22) [
http://www.nytimes.com/1985/09/22/books/arms-and-the-mind.html?&pagewanted=2]
: The translators are to be congratulated, although the word
''praxological'' seems an unnecessarily complicated synonym for
''practical.''
