Re: copacetic



≪then again, there's the cape worn by a hermit. An aesthetic's cope. ≫
The ascetic's cope, perhaps, or the aesthete's carp? Or maybe the skeptic's trope.

Webster's 3d unabridged (1966) lists copesetic ('es') as a variant
spelling, whereas the 2d unabridged (1948) lists only copacetic with 'ac'.

Learned something (again).
