It's a word that perhaps is not so family friendly wrapped with prefixes and suffixes that make it more "scientific" and thus more acceptable.
If I were a teacher I would probably have used it if the context was right, since I'm sure the students would understand the meaning much better than with a cleansed term.
If I were a teacher I would also not have banned Huckleberry Fin but instead make the effort to teach the students about the context and the origins of language that is in the book.
If we want to cleanse the term we could use "enpoofication" or "the new number two".
