Etymology
The word 'abstrusely' derives from the Latin term 'abstrusus', which means 'hidden, concealed, or difficult to understand'. The prefix 'ab-' means 'away from' or 'off', while 'trusus' comes from 'tendere', meaning 'to stretch or extend'. The evolution of the term reflects the complexities and nuances inherent in certain subjects or discussions, especially in philosophy and theoretical discourse. It has been used in English since the 17th century and has remained relevant in academic contexts where precise and often intricate descriptions are necessary. The word emphasizes the challenge of conveying complex ideas clearly, signaling both the depth of the thought and the potential barriers to understanding.
