What word would not appear with the words rose and rough in dictionary?

This is a bit of a trick question! Here's why:

* Dictionaries are organized alphabetically. So, a word would appear *between* "rose" and "rough" if it came alphabetically later than "rose" but earlier than "rough".

* There's no way to know for sure what word wouldn't appear. There are countless words in the English language.

To make this into a more solvable puzzle, we'd need more constraints. For example:

* A word of a certain length.

* A word starting with a specific letter.

* A word from a specific subject area.
