izzard

noun /ˈɪ.zə(ɹ)d/

  1. The letter Z; zed, zee.

    ... [Reading.] Dear Sir,—ay, that's that. Then there's an M, and a T, and an S, but whether the next be an izzard, or an R, confound me, I cannot tell.

Where it comes from

From Middle English izod, ezod, ezed, probably from Middle French et zede (literally “and zed”), as spoken when reciting the alphabet.
