Prink

This is a word I would have expected to find in something written by Gore Vidal, Aubrey Beardsley, or Quentin Crisp. Instead I found it while reading Plutarch’s Consolation to His Wife (in translation of course) in The Art of the Personal Essay (Ed. Phillip Lopate).

Prink. It sounds like what it means: to dress carefully in a finicky or showy manner.
