Missed an i. Triskaidecaphobia. Some English teacher!

I taught English for many years. The word that sticks is triskadecaphobia. The fear of number 13.

We were doing the crossword this morning with our coffee and for some reason the word pescatarian popped into my head. It wasn't the answer to any of the clues. I have no idea where it came from. I'm not vegetarian. We weren't talking about fish. But after that I couldn't think of a single answer to any clue - all my words were hidden behind 'pescatarian' ?

I was in work this morning when I suddenly thought calceolaria! I asked a colleague if she had heard of it-no, but another lady
said she thought it was a flower. It is, and I can now spell it as well. I’m not a gardener, so where did that come from?
