$\begingroup$ Nice one! You're too good at these word puzzles :-) (And good edit: the word without the "or" on the end was what I was looking for.) $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 10, 2019 at 8:31

$\begingroup$ @Rand - the word with 'or' at the end was maybe the reason I got it! $\endgroup$– TomCommented Sep 10, 2019 at 8:32
