The rules are simple, I'm going to post a word, from the rare, obsolete, or obscure file. It is a REAL word.
Find the meaning, post the meaning, and give us a new REAL but rare obsolete, or obscure word.
If no one can give us the meaning, you MUST be able to define it and give a reference source for said word.
You don't have to give word for word definition to answer, just accurate or really really close to accurate.

is a political position which originated in nineteenth century Britain, where "antidisestablishmentarians" were opposed to proposals to remove the Church of England's status as the state church of England. So basically, a political move to keep Gawd in church where he belongs.

atrbilious, you sure about the spelling there? Doesn't look like an English word. atrabilious would by derivation be black biled, so I'mma assume there's a typo here and go with distempered, morbid, sad. Then I'll throw out
trepenation
and wander off to get my four fluids checked...

Damn! learn something new every day.... That took me forever to find. And it's either using a latin root that I don't know, or using a root in a bizarre way. Anyway, it's a knock-out punch, either verbal or physical.
Just for that ya'll get:

having projected teeth.
That made me think of the Jabberworcky (with the teeth that gnash), so I was going to go with fraptious. But Since I don't think that word actually has a definition, I'mma throw out:
Apodosis

I weren't sure which word you wanted so in order of their appearence
Jabberworcky A Lewis Carrol poem From through the Looking Glass, the poem is nonsense and the word has come to mean such.... like a lot of the stuff on AMD 
fraptious You were right the word wasn't in my books! and no I think it's not been clearly defined... I could drag out the dusty books and put the parts together... but nah..
Apodosis without getting into a grammar and sentence structure lesson that it appears the players of the game don't need... it means the "cause of a sentance"
New word: rhathymia
