ort \ˈȯrt\ noun: a morsel left at a meal; scrap
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle Low German orte
I've never heard this word uttered in casual conversation. That's a shame, because ort just feels right; what else could it be but a scrap of food?

I sometimes find it to be an answer to a crossword clue. It just so happens that I left a huge ort after dinner time today.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!
