Today’s “Word of the Day” is “arcane“ and it is an adjective meaning “mysterious, murky, obscure, ambiguous, incomprehensible, secret, hidden, concealed, covert, clandestine”.
Example Sentence: In the complex and often arcane world of global diplomacy, gaffes (mistakes/blunders), embarrassments and “diplomatic incidents” are par for the course. Some, like the Qatari decision to cancel a banquet in honour of Vice President Venkaiah Naidu, ostensibly due to his counterpart the Deputy Emir’s possible exposure to COVID-19, left officials wondering if there was a larger message being conveyed regarding the Qatar government’s unhappiness over the controversial comments made in India about Prophet Mohammad.
