I didn't actually guess it, did I? However, based on Barb's excellent questioning, I did have a sneaking suspicion that the mystery word might be unicycle. Smile [:)]

OK, here's a new 10-letter word:

Yes, it is used primarily as a noun, but can also be used as a verb.

As a noun: is it a living thing? or is it inanimate?
As a verb: is it irregular?

Can you carry it?
Do you own (at least) one?

I'd say you'd be able to find one of these in or near many homes and/or schools. It is much less likely that you'd find one in or near an office, I suppose. Yes, outside is a good place to see one of these.
