mimsy

/ˈmɪmzi/
Meanings (ES + gloss)
misendeble
A nonce word in Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky
Down he sank in a chair—ran his hands through his hair— / And chanted in mimsiest tones
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves / Did gyre and gimble in the wade^([sic – meaning wabe]); / All mimsy were the borogoves, / And the mome raths outgrabe.
