To be honest, I had never heard the word and didn't take the time to ask my retired English teacher wife the meaning. I think tho, that I have the years backwards. Someone else needs to clarify.

American high school geometry text (the Texas version) usually define a
trapezoid as a quadrilateral with exactly two sides parallel. A
trapezium is usually defines as a totally irregular quadrilateral.
Common usage often deviated from this practice, considering these terms
as interchangeable.
