A habergeon is a person who works at a haberdashery repairing hats, like a surgeon repairs bodies. This word is obsolescent because hats for men (other than baseball caps) are obsolescent.

A habergeon is a person who walks around town holding a rhomboid shape. The bigger the shape, the happier the habergeon is. Nobody knows what pushes habergeons to go about habergeoning, but, hey, loosen up, it takes all sorts to make the world go round!

HABERGEON.

What a pity, Cunliffe!

You were SO CLOSE to the correct answer.

But, unfortunately, your Geometry let you down. A �Rhombus �, as every schoolboy knows, is an Italian vehicle, with six flat tyres.

The TRUE definition of �Habergeon � derives from the ancient Scandiwegian Language, Norse.

Shakespeare was familiar with the language: "A Norse, a Norse! my kingdom for a Norse!"

A Norsious translation of �Habergeon � is:

�Hab � = The Imperative Interrogative �Have you? �; �er � = The unstressed, schwa-like, Indefinite Determiner �a �; and �geon � = derived from Early American Norse, �john � (Toilet).

"Have you a toilet?"

So, Lynne Cunliffe, your poor hapless individual, is a traveller hurriedly seeking a convenient toilet ... hence the word �Convenience �.

Incidentally:

"It takes Allsorts to make a packet of Bassetts!"
