Stump the Searchers

I tried searching for the word: caspetitious    found here:




Did you really mean: capricious (Google) or captious (Bing) ?



  Why no, if I had meant something other than caspetitious I would have entered it, right ?

This is the only link Google found:

Which happens to be a link to the same story I was reading => Protective Mimicry, page 37, February 1953 issue of Galaxy Magazine:

I have mentioned the Luminist archives before:

Here is a link to the Luminist site:  https://www.luminist.org/archives/


Plenty of reading material on Luminist.

So what does caspetitious mean ?  There is a word: cespititious:



Since it's only 2 letters different let's say Galaxy made a mistake.  Using caspetitious as an adjective for a bank manager might be a fancy way of saying the bank person was a clod ?

BTW here is the X-1 episode (OTR) of Protective Mimicry (they didn't use the word: caspetitious):

Oh yeah, what about AI ?  The heck with AI, who needs more of that in their life ?
