Memory trick · Prashant Sir

इसे ob-fus-cate तोड़िए और fus में fuss सुनिए — सीधी बात पर इतना fuss कि सब उलझ जाए। Obfuscate = उलझा देना, अस्पष्ट करना। Spelling में 'sc' आता है, 'k' नहीं: o-b-f-u-s-c-a-t-e।

Split it as OB-FUS-CATE and hear FUSS in it: make such a fuss about a simple matter that everything becomes unclear. To obfuscate is to make something less clear and harder to understand. Spell it with 'sc', never with 'k': o-b-f-u-s-c-a-t-e.

Exam note

Antonym में clarify, elucidate, illuminate, unfold; synonym में confuse, muddle आते हैं। 'K' वाली spelling हमेशा ग़लत है।

Antonyms offered are clarify, elucidate, illuminate and unfold; confuse and muddle are synonyms. A spelling with 'k' is always wrong.
