    Without grabbing a thesaurus, I am not sure if there is an equivalent synonym. I’d probably expect around a minimum of 80% of native speakers to know the word.

      It’s pretty common. It just doesn’t need to be addressed that often. Like towels, you’re not going to bring them up unless they’re relevant.
