Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Elusive, verb elude (चकमा देकर निकल जाना) से बना है। सोचिए, एक team हर साल करीब पहुँचती है पर trophy हाथ से फिसल जाती है — वह title elusive है। Elusive = जिसे पाना, पकड़ना या परिभाषित करना कठिन हो।

ELUSIVE comes from the verb elude, to slip away or escape. Picture a sports team that comes close every year, yet the trophy slips out of its hands: the title is elusive. Elusive means difficult to find, define or achieve.
