Enigmacy
Enigmacy is a currently unstable neologism coined by Alex Kyrios (user:BDD) in January of 2005. A Google search netted eight individual results of this word being used before in a few blogs and forums.
Etymology
Enigmacy is a noun derived from the base noun enigma. The base noun comes from the Latina ænigma, meaning "riddle" and hence, the two words share a common origin.
