One of the people who is commenting/proofreading/etc my latest work said "I didn't know this word, and nor did my husband".
The word was "salubrious".
How 'bout you?

It is likely from the same origin as salud:

I had to look up this word:

Litotes is a figure of speech and a form of understatement in which a sentiment is expressed ironically by negating its contrary. For example, saying "It's not the best weather today" during a hurricane would be an example of litotes, implying through ironic understatement that the weather is, in fact, horrible.

This one, too:

Lalochezia is the emotional relief that a person may feel after cursing. Sometimes lalochezia is also used to refer to the use of profanity to provide such relief.
