Word to the Wise: Turbid

Something that’s "turbid" (TUR-bid) is (1) muddy, or (2) disturbed. The word is from the Latin for confused/ disordered.

Example (as used by David Walker in The Independent): "Rough or smooth, the Irish Sea at Blackpool is always turbid. Beneath the murk float unspeakable things."
