14 definitions, one is from a dictionary - please vote ... rules:
1 collective term for the followers of certain religous movements such as Amish and Mennonites that sought to live a "rude", i.e. simple, life
2 a fossil mollusc of the order Hippuritoida (or Rudistes)
3 noncomformists
4 one who mocks
5 spreaders or spacers used in canvas-covered airplane construction
6 cherries of a golden color
7 an early 19th century Northumbrian circle of Romantic thinkers who most notably vilified formal education, particularly grammar schools, espousing rather the ideal of the innately good child in the vein of Rousseau and Wm. Blake, among others. The Rudists took great inspiration from Wordsworth’s poem, “The Tables Turned”, published in his influential 1798 Lyrical Ballads in which he writes, “let nature be your teacher”. Among their number were average-adjuster and poet Edward Irving Todd (1790?-1861), notorious for his 1825 poem "Lady Grammar, Damn Her!", George Thomas Rudd (1795-1847), clergyman and founder of the Royal Entomological Society, and Durham wool merchant Paul Hood (1786-1846). Not to be confused with the Roodists, 18th century Calvinist ministers who favored a simple crucifix over the complete abstention from church adornment practiced by their peers

In my experience dictionaries do not usually include possessives
- except in compound words like "mercy's sake" therefore fore a
single word I would suspect that if there is an apostrophe it
would have to be there as part of the definition - as in
"o'brienism"
