It's supposedly mentioned in Romeo and Juliet, but I've looked in the online dictionaries and there was no result. Can anyone help?

I asked my husband, who's a Shakespeare scholar, and he doesn't know either. Can you tell us which part of the play it is in? Which Act, which scene? Then we can figure it out perhaps. Sometimes Shakespeare would "play" with words for effect and the context would help determine that.
We own a full Oxford English Dictionary and the word doesn't even appear in there so we are thinking that perhaps it was a misprint.

I can't find it either. What you should do is go to the Oxford English Dictionary. It has every word - ever.
It's a subscription online dictionary. If you attend college, you can access it through the library. You need to get a password, etc. If you need help your librarian should be able to help you.
