I know. I used that as an example because I didn't want to share the domain name that I wanted. There are a bunch of single-word domains which are not available, but have no WHOIS record.

My guess stays the same: your word is either a Google trademark or a domain name Google is itself interested in and has reserved it for possibly future use.
