Origin & History

From Latin alludere (ad- ‘to’ + ludere ‘to play’), later via French alluder; originally ‘to refer playfully,’ then ‘to refer indirectly.’

लैटिन alludere (ad- ‘की ओर’ + ludere ‘खेलना’) से, बाद में फ्रेंच alluder के माध्यम से; प्रारंभिक अर्थ ‘खेल-खेल में संदर्भ देना’ था, जो आगे चलकर ‘परोक्ष रूप से संदर्भ/उल्लेख करना’ बन गया।

Definition

Used to say that someone referred to a person, thing, event, or idea in an indirect or subtle way rather than naming it openly.

इसका प्रयोग तब होता है जब कोई व्यक्ति किसी व्यक्ति/वस्तु/घटना/विचार का सीधे नाम लिए बिना संकेत या परोक्ष उल्लेख करता है।
