All right then, the word was *immortalized* by the good Dr. Freud.

Subject: RE: ID or Id?
<Furthermore, "Id" is an actual word, coined by good old Dr. Freud.
Der gute Herr Doktor did not coin the word "id." He merely assigned a special
meaning the Latin n. nom. sing. personal pron. "id," which means it. The masc.
nom. sing. nom. is "is" and the fem. nom. sing. is "ea," for completeness' sake.
"Ego" is the nom. sing of the Latin word for "I."
