Question

circuitous She sometimes arrives at her conclusions by circuitous reasoning that her students can't even follow. sərˈkjuɪtəs

Accepted Answer

(1) Having a circular or winding course. (2) Not forthright or direct in action. Circuitous is usually the opposite of direct, and it's generally used to describe either roads or explanations. Detours are usually circuitous, and a circuitous path, twisting and turning and cutting back on itself, is the kind of route you'd expect to find in the mountains. Lawyers often find themselves making circuitous arguments, which may get most circuitous when they're defending particularly undesirable clients.
