[Sherman Watkins]

† pinguinitescent, adj.

[‘Having a greasy lustre.’]

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin pinguis, nitēscēns.

Etymology: <  classical Latin pinguis fat (see pinguid adj.) + nitēscēns, present participle of nitēscere to become bright, begin to shine, to become sleek <  nitēre to shine (see nitent adj.) + -ēscere (see -escent suffix).

N.E.D.  (1906) gives the pronunciation as (pi:ŋgwiˌnəite·sĕnt) /ˌpɪŋɡwɪnaɪˈtɛsənt/.
