| 词组 | elusive, illusive |
| 释义 | elusive, illusive Admonitions not to confuse elusive ("hard to perceive or comprehend") and illusive ("based on illusion; illusory") can be found in a few books on usage. Such confusion is rare. The mistake that can occur—usually, we would think, because of simple inattention—is the use of the relatively uncommon illusive in place of elusive: • ... probably the appendix acting up. It was very illusive and not detected until the day of the operation —letter received at Merriam-Webster, 2 Sept. 1954 |
