attercop 

n. A spider's web; from 'atter' (poison) and 'coppe' (cup). Often used to refer to the spider itself (as from Norwegian "edderkopp", meaning spider).

Old fat spider spinning in a tree!
Old fat spider can't see me!
Attercop! Attercop!
Won't you stop,
Stop your spinning and look for me?
Old Tomnoddy, all big body,
Old Tomnoddy can't spy me!
Attercop! Attercop!
Down you drop!
You'll never catch me up your tree!

- J. R. Tolkein's "The Hobbit", Ch. VIII

attercoparchy

Rule by old poisonous ulcer(/;spider).

Because of being trapped and having poisons imposed upon us, it appears we are suffering under attercoparchy, and not just merely cryptarchy, hagiarchy or demonarchy, and, can it still even be called kakistarchy (rule by the worst among us), since it seems not even matter any more who are in the system, as the system itself is the great monster poisoning us and trapping us in disease, and the people merely coerced obediently complicit.
