Pronunciation: ['fa-sik] Listen
Definition: (1) To search for gold in a disorganized manner, especially in abandoned mines. (2) To fossick about: to rummage around for something, to nose about.
[@more@]Suggested Usage: Well, one can fossick about in a drawer for a sharpened pencil or fossick about the shells on the beach for sharks' teeth. Even dogs may fossick about the yard for yesterday's bone. Closets are a good place to fossick about for just about anything (if yours are like mine).
Etymology: The origins of this word are passing mysterious. It apparently comes from a British dialect, probably Cornish.
