Staye

Staye: noun. Accommodation or a period of staying as a visitor or guest in an inne. This word was created by a Richard Murphy, who was angry at the abuse of silly suffixes preserved from Middle and Old English, which were being abused by the proprietors of expensive, but flimsy accommodation establishments and created this word as a mockery of their supposed wit.
