I thought it was clear from my question that 1. I couldn't find the term in dictionaries, 2. there were several web references to it, of which I posted one as an example, 3. the issue was at such a point that I needed to ask the opinion of native speakers. But it seems it was not clear enough. I apologize for that and hope that it is clear enough this time. You don't need to post here the most basic resources everyone knows. And I'm not sure how your note fits the function of the 'Ask the Asker' button. Thank you anyway, for your suggestions.

I did not mean that as a criticism - just giving ideas for resources (www.bartleby.com for U.S. English and www.askoxford.com/ for UK.)

Online dictionaries have the added advantage of being constantly updated - in real time :-)

But if I asked it here, it means I did check dictionaries before - or would it have to be necessarily an online one?

If you want to know if an English word exists, check an online dictionary; the quality of this website is not poor - it is horrid. I feel sorry for them if they paid for it.
