Profectitious

A profectitious curse had made him king of it all
When all he'd ever wanted was to be something fun
A journalist writing gossip and culinary columns

  6. Before looking it up, I was leery of that fancy new word, but it turned out to be perfect and the piece so descriptive, I suspect, of many people at the top.
