Etymology of RECONDITE

The word "recondite" is derived from the Latin word "reconditus", which means "hidden" or "concealed". It comes from the verb "recondere", which combines the prefix "re-" (meaning "back" or "again") and "condere" (meaning "to put" or "to hide"). Over time, this Latin term was adapted into English as "recondite", retaining its meaning of something obscure, difficult to comprehend, or requiring deep knowledge.
