    Power Your Vocabulary with Today's Dictionary Definition: Recondite

    by gobigblue (08/23/2007 - 17:26) |

    rec·on·dite  [rek-uhn-dahyt, ri-kon-dahyt]

    1. dealing with very profound, difficult, or abstruse subject matter.

    When someone says something obscure, that can be considered recondite subject matter.

    The word comes from Latin roots, meaning "to store back," i.e., "out of the way," hence "to hide"; Recondite knowledge is "hidden" from the understanding of the average person.

    So let's continue to build up our respecitvely recondite vocabularies by learning more obscure words!

    :)
