Delitescency \Del`i*tes"cen*cy\, n.
   Concealment; seclusion.
   [1913 Webster]

         The mental organization of the novelist must be
         characterized, to speak craniologically, by an
         extraordinary development of the passion for
         delitescency.                            --Sir W.
                                                  Scott.
