Latin -istader. Old French -istebor. Middle English -ist English -ist English librocubicularist Coined by the American writer Christopher Morley (1890–1957) in The Haunted Bookshop (1919; see the quotation), probably from libro- (prefix meaning ‘book’) + cubicular (“(obsolete) belonging to a bedchamber”) + -ist (suffix denoting one who engages in a particular type of activity). Cubicular is a learned borrowing from Latin cubiculāris (“relating to a bedroom”), from cubiculum (“small bedroom, bedchamber”) + -āris (“suffix meaning ‘of or pertaining’ to forming adjectives”); and cubiculum is derived from cubāre (the present active infinitive of cubō (“to lie down, recline; to sleep”), possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ḱewb-) + -i- (interfix used between stems and suffixes) + -culum (an inflected form of -culus, a variant of -ulus (diminutive suffix)). Pronunciation: /ˌlaɪbɹəʊˌkjuːbɪˈkjʊləɹɪst/, /-kjuːˈbɪ-/, /ˌlaɪbɹoʊˌkjubɪˈkjʊləɹɪst/, /-kjuˈbɪkjə-/ 1. A person who reads in bed. Labels: humorous, rare Example: "Miss Chapman, you take the book up with you and read it in bed if you want to. Are you a librocubicularist?" Titania looked a little scandalized.

He made it up, and he's immensely proud if it." Example: I always smoke an acre of tobacco in bed while reading the most delightful book for all librocubicularists. (I don't think there is such as word as librocubicularist, but Mr. Christopher Morley used it to good advantage in "The Haunted Bookshop" and it has a terrifying sound to the uninitiated ear.)
