ambagious
adj : roundabout and unnecessarily wordy; "had a preference for
circumlocutious (or circumlocutory) rather than
forthright expression"; "A periphrastic study in a
worn-out poetical fashion,/ Leaving one still with the
intolerable wrestle/ With words and
meanings."-T.S.Eliot; (`ambagious' is archaic) [syn: {circumlocutious},
{circumlocutory}, {periphrastic}]
