obfuscation
의미: The deliberate act of making something unclear, confusing, or difficult to understand, typically to conceal the truth or prevent scrutiny.
Obfuscation implies intent — unlike mere confusion, it suggests a purposeful effort to obscure. In political journalism, accusations of obfuscation are levelled at officials who bury bad news in jargon or complexity. In software engineering, code obfuscation is a legitimate technique used to make source code harder to reverse-engineer, protecting intellectual property. In academic criticism, obfuscation is the charge made against writers whose prose is needlessly dense. The word always carries a whiff of bad faith when applied to communication.
