A new word came flying at me today from The Nudge Wink Report.
Obfuscation
Obfuscation is a form of Obfuscate:
[ob-fuh-skeyt, ob-fuhs-keyt]
noun
1. the act or an instance of making something obscure, dark, or difficult to understand
Collins English Dictionary – Complete & Unabridged 2012 Digital Edition© William Collins Sons & Co. Ltd. 1979, 1986 © HarperCollins

1530s, from Latin obfuscatus, past participle of obfuscare “to darken,” from ob “over” (see ob-) + fuscare “to make dark,” from fuscus “dark”
I also found this contest regarding the word:
The International Obfuscated C Code Contest
Obfuscate: tr.v. -cated, -cating, -cates.
-
- To render obscure.
- To darken.
- To confuse: his emotions obfuscated his judgment.
[LLat. obfuscare, to darken : ob(intensive) + Lat. fuscare,
to darken < fuscus, dark.] -obfuscation n. obfuscatory adj

Life Notes 
Nice one! I like ‘Stupefy’ too (reminds me of Harry Potter 😉 ) xx
Nice! Stupefy is a good one!
I like this word, but I’ve never used it. Reading the definition makes me realize it would make a really great nickname for a certain coworker of mine.
Kinda long… maybe Fuscie for short?
