So I was just reading about Ernie Els return to golf after his knee injury earlier in the year, and I came across the following description of it: "Ernie Els' timeous recovery from his knee injury will enable him to play in his 14th Nedbank Golf Challenge at Sun City." What? Wait a minute. Is "timeous" a word? Yep, it sure is, and it turns out it's chiefly Scottish at that even though it was used in a South African news posting.
Per Encarta World Dictionary.
timeous
time·ous
adjective
Definitions:
Scotland timely: happening or done in good time
