Autochthonous

Filed Under A 

au-toch-tho-nous –adj. 1. Originating where found; indigenous: autochthonous rocks, people, folktales.

First word that came to mind (followed by “balderdash” in a near dead heat). I just enjoy its sound and its unwieldy nature. It’s such an unlikely word, and yet quite useful.
