Sentence: Gloria was a renowned unexretrospectologist who had spent years and years researching a cure for the disorder in hopes of preventing it affecting her. However, it had happened anyway. She now could do cartwheels on a balance beam in a tiny pink leotard, albeit with arthritic bent knees, false teeth flying out of her mouth and flabby arms akimbo.

Etymology: unexpected + retrospections (in the noun form of the word, suffix eon is used in place of the usual ion to represent the years and years)
