What's an obsolete or incredibly obscure word you think people should know?

Overmorrow refers to the day after tomorrow and I feel like it comes in quite handy for example.

"scruple" as a verb, meaning "hesitate due to conscience".
- People probably know a word based on it, unscrupulous, meaning having or showing no moral principles
  
  Yeah, and folks know "scruples" as a noun which some people have and some don't, but "scruple" as a verb is a nice archaic version that I really like, which you don't encounter much outside of, say, a Jane Austen novel.
