enigmatic
의미: Difficult to interpret or understand; mysterious and puzzling.
Enigmatic describes people, smiles, statements, or phenomena that are intriguingly mysterious. Unlike 'obscure' or 'opaque' (which are negative), enigmatic often carries a positive, alluring quality — suggesting fascination rather than frustration. The Mona Lisa's smile is perhaps the most famous example. It collocates with 'smile,' 'figure,' 'character,' 'leader,' 'presence,' and 'quality.'
