Used very rarely and is a form of speech among scholars trying to convey the lying of speech.
Usage:
“I will reply to you, sir,” returned the scholar, “without any pseudology, I have no prurience towards divinity; theology, sir, has never been a favourite study of mine, and I am fixed in the intention of taking a voyage round the world in search of knowledge, with my erudite friend Erasmus Peters.”
