I looked this up on encountering it in "All the King's Men" in a sense that didn't fit my understanding of loblolly as a kind of pine tree, and I found out that a loblolly pine is a species that grows in a loblolly. I found this delightfully disorienting, and "loblolly" is now my word.
These example need review! Some of them are completely unrelated to the definition, being a separate word in dialectal English or creole, and some are all in Latin.
