I propose that we also keep track of the sources and possible meanings of Mr Pages's lovely words. Some are simply ordinary words with extra syllables and embellishments, while others are of murkier origin.
These are from the result text for "the Ministry run", a Foreign Office carousel ending.
Alacritudinous (alcritous; quick, timely)
Gelidite (gelid; cold)
Infernous (fireplace, hearth)
Labourations (labour)
Verbode ("verb abode"?; text, written work)
Woodsider (table?)
These are from the result text for "a visit from Mr Pages", part of Ambition: Heart's Desire.
Singulous (singular)
Adequant (adequate)
Profundamentally (profoundly + fundamentally)

My absolute favourite - that I can't find a source for right at this moment, so I hope you'll forgive if I've butchered it - is "verisimiliton".
