So even with vast amounts of lucubration we will not be able to catch up with all the damn authors writing down and publishing THEIR lucubrations. So this word, lucubration, comes from lux? light. The action part I like- because one could relate it to calibration, lubrication, remuneration, manifestation, and all the other "ation" words. I don't think I have covered the "ations" in class- I will remedy that tomorrow after I engage in some lucubration on the matter tonight.

Did see this other meaning:

lucubration

n 1: a solemn literary work that is the product of laborious cogitation 2: laborious cogitation

:-) I like it.
