I found a dictionary word that is available. It is not a widely used word and it is a bit long but is it worth registering?
How much does it cost to reg a .com - anywhere from some special $.99 sale to maybe $10.00 or so.
That is your capital risk to acquire a name you have an interest in and a full year thereafter to figure out if you spent wisely or took a minimal dollar risk and failed.
The name you acquired seems a bit on the risky end but I believe it is better to buy and try and then
just let the name renewal die.
Keep in mind that not all obscure dictionary words are at the same level, some might have been overlooked by others or perhaps just came up to be available on the drops, but some might be so obscure and awkward that no one wanted to register them in the past 30 years (of course if it's a new word that was just added to the dictionary that might be a different story).
So it might be better to stay away from those obscure dictionary words that have absolutely zero practical use as a domain and get a two word domain instead that you won't have to drop later.
IMO
I see zero searches for this word.The word/domain is ParaSynonym.com

It might be interesting if people shared in this thread any obscure words they hold, and if they have ever sold one. I have a few, one of which is iambic (in .co). I remember the term iambic pentameter from an English class in middle school 55+ years ago and always liked the elegance of how the term iambic sounds. Anyway, decided to pick it up. I am not alone, i guess, as somewhat surprisingly the term is registered in 23 TLDs. I am still waiting for that poetry startup company to come knocking with an offer for it, however! I priced it low BIN hoping some academic, blogger, writer, editor, poet, etc. might like the elegance of the word.
