from a Thesis on insect anatomy, referring to their spear-shaped ovipositors or stingers. “De hymenopterorum aculei anatomia et physioligia” Dissertatio Zoologica.
By W. Hubertus FENGER (1863)
or, Latin plural for ‘aculeus’: spears

So you already knew that word, right? I had no idea what the word was, even after getting it right. I was relying on blind, blind luck. 
I got it by just continuing to plug letters in, but unlike the “KYTHOON” episode from 'way back when, (1) I think there were fewer known letters this time, (2) there was a risk that in my tinkering I was going to come up with a real word, but one that just didn’t happen to be the right word, and (3) I was on my next-to-last try. I did look it up after I got it.
Anyway, congratulations on that one. That is one strange, fancy word. But it’s better than kythoon.
Even azalea fitted but no luck. I had about run out of consonants, and only a u left for vowels. Lots of attempts at anything that fitted. Including a few that I know are words but were not on the ‘word list’.
