Whysguy has thrown in a great solution, but I must say that AB got me thinking about the make up of the letters, and it reminded me of an old football trivia question/poser which read
What is unique about the football team Hull City
To which the answer was; Its the only team name in all the divisions that when written can't have any of its letters coloured in (not sure if that's still true)
The only word in the above list which fits this criteria is ITEM.
Happy New Year, Les
