Etymology
The word 'alluded' comes from the Latin 'alludere', which means 'to play with' or 'to refer to'. The prefix 'ad-' means 'to' or 'towards', while 'ludere' means 'to play'. Therefore, 'alludere' conveys the idea of making a reference in a playful or indirect manner. The term entered Middle English through Old French and began to take its modern form around the 14th century. It has since evolved, becoming a common term in English used primarily in literary contexts to discuss indirect references and implications.
