I've decided that this blog needs a Word of the Day (or at least Word of the Week) feature. There are so many brilliant words out there that get neglected because people don't know what they mean or how to use them properly in a sentence.
Today's word is:
clandestine [klan-des-tin] (adjective): characterized by, done in, or executed with secrecy or concealment, especially for purposes of subversion or deception;private or surreptitious:
Sample sentence: Their clandestine meetings went undiscovered for two years.
Synonyms: surreptitious, illegitimate, underground, fraudulent, concealed, stealthy, furtive
*Definition and synonyms unashamedly borrowed from dictionary.com. (I know what these words mean, folks, but I don't know how to explain 'em without the help of the good old dictionary.)
There you have it! Now you have a new word to add to your vocabulary.
Thanks for posting! I've been feeling guilty about the shameful way I've neglected this blog recently. And I have always loved the word clandestine. Excellent choice!
