Vocab 101

In a continuous effort to improve my vocab here are the words I've looked up recently:

Obfuscation
is the concealment of intended meaning in communication, making communication confusing, intentionally ambiguous, and more difficult to interpret.

Halcyon (IPA: /ˈhælsiən/), a term that originates from the Greek myth of Alcyone, is used most often to mean golden or marked by peace and prosperity.

An epithet (from Greek) is a descriptive word or phrase accompanying or occurring in place of the name of a person or thing, which has become a fixed formula. It has various shades of meaning when applied to seemingly real or fictitious people, divinities, objects, and biological nomenclature.

Look forward to many informative and educational word related posts!!!!!
