(pronounced klan-DESS-tehn or klan-DESS-teyen)

This fun word is a fancier way to describe something as secret or surreptitious. That’s it.

Example: Because he did not want his co-workers to know about the few design projects that he was doing on his own time and not under the umbrella of the firm, Victor had to schedule clandestine meetings with his personal clients during his lunch breaks.
