English word?

[edit]

American Illustrated Medical Dictionary (1919): "Propping with pillows to immobilize the viscera and thus relieve seasickness." A Practical Medical Dictionary (Stedman, 1922): "Wedging the body in the berth by means of pillows, in order to prevent rolling in case of seasickness." But I can't find it in use outside of word lists. Equinox 20:50, 14 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
