Some common synonyms of enigmatic are ambiguous , cryptic , dark , equivocal , obscure , and vague . While all these words mean "not clearly understandable," enigmatic stresses a puzzling, mystifying quality.
In some situations, the words ambiguous and enigmatic are roughly equivalent. However, ambiguous applies to language capable of more than one interpretation.
The meanings of cryptic and enigmatic largely overlap; however, cryptic implies a purposely concealed meaning.
While in some cases nearly identical to enigmatic , dark implies an imperfect or clouded revelation often with ominous or sinister suggestion.
Although the words equivocal and enigmatic have much in common, equivocal applies to language left open to differing interpretations with the intention of deceiving or evading.
moral precepts with equivocal phrasing
The synonyms obscure and enigmatic are sometimes interchangeable, but obscure implies a hiding or veiling of meaning through some inadequacy of expression or withholding of full knowledge.
The words vague and enigmatic can be used in similar contexts, but vague implies a lack of clear formulation due to inadequate conception or consideration.
