GAD Mystery Word of the Day

 


My new bookish meme for 2026: the Golden Age of Detection (GAD) Mystery Word of the Day. Whenever I find a word that I'm unfamiliar with--or shall we say not absolutely confident I know the exact meaning of, I'm going to actually take time to look it up and share it with mystery-lovers everywhere. 😊

Today's GAD Mystery Word of the Day is Abstruse (adj): difficult to understand; obscure

"...in his case it's especially idiotic because he edits a very abstruse quarterly and ought to welcome intellect wherever he can find it."
