The paper deals with the word plesmeřisko, attested in a collection of Moravian short stories from the 19th century. This word with unclear meaning was found to be a nonce word, i.e., a word unattested in other sources. It may be an augmentative derived from the dialect word plezmero (with the original meaning ‘unbottened shirt’, hence ‘bare chest’, later used as a derogatory word especially for a disheveled, lazy woman). The word plezmero is a compound consisting of the unclear second element -mero and the first component plez-, which originates in the Czech verb plazit (se) (‘to creep, crawl’). Other dialect words with the root plez-/plaz- are explored in a synchronic and diachronic perspective.
