A Quiz: On the radio this morning, they asked, "what is the only word in the English language that has a silent D?" They did not give the answer. Any ideas?

Does "bundt" cake count, or is that German? Asks the English major...for shame!

OK, I couldn't take it, I cheated on Google -- and frankly, I never would've thought of it, b/c it's a compound word, similar to "handmaiden" or "handyman." Ahem. ;-)
