^ Like " a fro " ? Haha, yes, you´re right Janszoon.
We also still use it as a verb, every time we say "Fro the ball!"

Next word I feel sorry for is "unbeknownst". We use the root, "know" all the time, but "unbeknownst", loaded down with prefixes and suffixes, clanks along sounding as archaic as a suit of armour.
