The word comes from Viscount Blunsdon, eldest son of Lord Cox-Bramley, who, rightly fearing that his heir lacked the business acumen to manage the family estates at such time as he might inherit, attempted to train him up by setting him to such tasks as managing the piggery, inspecting the drains, and collecting rent from the tenant farmers, but he displayed a complete lack of competence and initiative at everything his hand was set to. It was during the last of these appointments that he met an untimely end at the bottom of a well. Foul play was never proved, Lord Cox-Bramley's more industrious second son took his place in the line of succession, and everyone was satisfied.
