Ról-li-si-lla [ROH-lee-see-ya] n.
1. A comfortable chair, particularly one on wheels
2. The Spanglish word for "Rollychair"
Origin: From Spanish silla, meaning "chair," and Stibitian rolli, meaning "rolly."
Alternate spellings: Rólysilla, Rolysilla, Rollysilla, Rollisilla
I actually asked Mr. Stibitz how to spell it today. The problem is, the first ll needs to be pronounced in English, and the second in Spanish. Should I spell it with l then ll? Or let it be and just write the pronunciation? Is it a y or an i in the middle? And is there an accent mark? He didn't give me any useful answers, so I just put a ton of alternate spellings. There. Done.
