Effie, are you sure about this? It�s hardly a regular/common word (pseudo-Latin gerund, analogous with �graduand�...?). How/where would you use it?
More to the point: when Adalberto (�napster� - the japester: check some of his earlier posts - this is his 4th account, I believe) comes up with questions like these, he very rarely gives the context. He�s not really serious - he�s just saying �hello, remember me?�. |

Effie �s definition is from Wiki but when I checked OED as the reference it says word unknown so either napster misspelled it or Alex has made a good point |

It`s a very formal word used by functionaries when discussing school and university Ss.
