Node:obscure, Next:octal forty, Previous:Objectionable-C, Up:= O =

obscure adj.

Used in an exaggeration of its normal meaning, to imply total

incomprehensibility. "The reason for that last crash is obscure."

"The find(1) command's syntax is obscure!" The

phrase `moderately obscure' implies that something could be

figured out but probably isn't worth the trouble. The

construction `obscure in the extreme' is the preferred emphatic

form.
