From the annals of words that don't mean what they sound like, I present you:
cancellous
Meaning, according to Webster's New World:
1) Anat. Having a porous or spongelike structure: said of bones.
2) Bot. Having a tiny, netlike structure of veins: said of certain leaves.
Yet further proof that as an engineer I reach for the dictionary way too much and am easily distracted.
Now what word was it I was originally looking up?
