Surreptitious की शुरुआत में 'सर्प' सुनिए। सर्प गाय-भैंस की तरह खुले में नहीं घूमता; वह छिपा रहता है और चुपके से चलता है — snake in the grass की तरह। जो काम चोरी-छिपे किया जाए क्योंकि उसकी इजाज़त न मिलती, वह surreptitious है। Clandestine भी साथ पढ़िए।
Hear 'sarp' (snake) at the start of SURREPTITIOUS. A snake never roams in the open like a cow; it stays hidden and moves secretly, like a snake in the grass. Anything done secretly because it would not be approved of is surreptitious. Learn clandestine with it.
