Today’s Words That Work: Obfuscate
Archives: Word to the Wise
To obfuscate (OB-fuh-skate) – from the Latin for “darken” – is to confuse, bewilder, or make unclear.
Example (as used today by Daniel Levis): “There is a difference between delivering honest, heartfelt enthusiasm and spouting baseless, over-the-top claims. The former, when backed up with sound reasoning, leads to conviction. The later demands even more lies and obfuscation to maintain.”
