From www.merriamwebster.com - Rotory - "The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary."

Rotary - Main Entry: 1ro·ta·ry
Pronunciation: 'rO-t&-rE
Function: adjective
Etymology: Medieval Latin rotarius, from Latin rota wheel
1 a : turning on an axis like a wheel b : taking place about an axis <rotary motion>
2 : having an important part that turns on an axis <rotary cutter>
3 : characterized by rotation
4 : of, relating to, or being a press in which paper is printed by rotation in contact with a curved printing surface attached to a cylinder

I know... make a stipulation where you have to type at least 50 characters in order to add to it. What a great idea!
