(I am shocked. It isn't common these days, but in the past it was. I loved how Swift avoided writing somethings by noting "lacuna in manuscript.)

Interesting find anyway, Peter. Probably the word was inheritet from Latin. An expression we use very often, for example: "uma lacuna no conhecimento"( a gap of knowledge).
