The mention of the word immediately shook the Kingdom of Gorm from Andre Norton's "Witchworld" series out of the depths of my memory (no idea why I remember these useless details for so many years). Maybe this was not another one of Norton's made-up words after all?
Unfortunately, only real words I could dig up from the net were: a southern-US word referring to some kind of grease, GNUStep's GUI designer, and a famous Viking king - none of which sound particularly useful for protecting Windows users from breakins (even when compared to the futile solutions some people have been trying ;-) ).
(p.s. the last one could in fact be related to Norton's choice of the name - so that search might have taught me something after all...)
Unless I'm missing something important, my next guess would be that this is either a typo or an abbreviation of some word. Maybe something related to "garment" or "armour"?
