Clancular

/klænˈkjuːlər/ adjective

Definition

Secret or hidden; conducted in a secretive or stealthy manner.

Etymology

Rare English adjective derived from Latin 'clam' (secretly) with the suffix '-cular,' though this is a highly unusual formation and may be a back-formation or specialized coinage.

Kelly Says

This word is so obscure it almost doesn't exist in modern English—lexicographers debate whether it's a real word or a misunderstanding of 'clandestine'!
