Errhine

The weird word for today is: Errhine

Etymology

From Latin errhīnum, from Ancient Greek ἔρρῖνον, from ἐν (“in”) + ῥίν (“nostril”).

Adjective

Meaning: Causing an increase in mucus within the nose, and hence causing one to sneeze.

My comment: Dust would fit this for me. “The errhine dust is bothering me today.” Dust does a lot of increasing mucus and sneezing on me.
