Word to the Wise: Obfuscate
by ETR (04/7/2008)
To "obfuscate" (OB-fuh-skate) - from the Latin for "to darken" - is to make something so confusing or unclear that it is difficult to understand.
Example (as used by Michael Masterson today): "Our government has made an art of obfuscation - of hiding certain economic realities."
