Obfuscation
Obfuscation
is the of intended
meaning
in
communication
, making the message
confusing
, willfully
ambiguous
, or harder to understand. It may be
intentional
or unintentional (although the former is usually
connoted
) and may result from
circumlocution
(yielding wordiness) or from use of
jargon
or even
argot
(yielding economy of words but excluding
outsiders
from the communicative value). Unintended obfuscation in
expository writing
is usually a natural trait of early
drafts
in the
writing process
, when the
composition
is not yet advanced, and it can be improved with
critical thinking
and revising, either by the writer or by another person with sufficient
reading comprehension
and editing skills.
