abstruse

abstruse:

[16] It is not clear whether English borrowed

abstruse

from French

abstrus(e)

or directly from Latin

abstrūsus

, but the ultimate source is the Latin form. It is the past participle of the verb

abstrūdere

, literally ‘thrust’ (

trūdere

) ‘away’ (

ab

). (

Trūdere

contributed other derivatives to English, including

extrude

and

intrude

,a,n,dit is related to

threat

.) The original, literal meaning of

abstruse

was ‘concealed’, but the metaphorical ‘obscure’ is just as old in English.
