About a month or so ago, my wife was riding with me in my pickup truck, and for whatever reason started writing down words that can be derived from “petroleum.” When we got to where we were going, she clipped the pen to the folded sheet of paper she’d been writing on, and left them on the floor of the truck, right behind the manual gearshift.
Periodically, as I’ve gotten into or out of the car, I’ve glanced down at the paper, and thought of another word, and taken a second to add it to the list. The column on the right-hand side are my additions.
I hadn’t added any new ones for a couple of weeks, and then yesterday, it suddenly hit me: I was missing a biggie — a nice, fat, five-letter word that for some time has been more on our minds than a sane person would want it to be.
I guess I’ve just had a sort of mental block, an urge to will that word away.
Can you see what it is?

Besides that word (which speaks well of you that you blocked it from your mind!), there is also a six-letter grape varietal I see in there too.
You can never have enough word games in pickup trucks..;yawning is healthy,too.
And you even got Lump as the first one, with the rime as a clue.
BTW, you can add Pome and Role.
Good job, Scout.
