There are so many words like this in English. Sometimes I feel like the concept of crossword puzzles came first and then English began to develop in order to provide it with a context. Example: sough It kind of looks like a typo, but no, it means "the sound of wind rustling through the trees, or the sound of gentle surf" which is cool, but kind of overly specific to be used often.Least favourite/ugliest: cruft - something that would come along and ruin any good day.

interesting, I know that definition to be applied to susurrus as well ( a favourite word of mine), though wiktionary calls it a "whispering or rustling sound; a murmur" coming from the latin for "a humming or whispering"
