the worthless word for the day is: retiracy

[U.S., from retire, after such pairs as
conspire : conspiracy]

/re TIRE uh see/
1) retirement, seclusion 2) sufficient means or
property to make possible retirement

"He left the house, and once more sought the retiracy
of the gardens." - Lewis Wallace, The Fair God (1873)

"It is said, in New England, of a person who left off
business with a fortune, that he has a retiracy; i.e.
a sufficient fortune to retire upon."
- J. R. Bartlett, Dict. of Americanisms (1848)
