obscure
(jargon) | 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.
