Clandestine: Performed in a secretive manner, especially if illicit
This seemed like a good word to choose for a Hump Day, since many times the trysts in our favorite romances are surreptitious in nature. This word is used to describe those unforgettable night-time sneaks and forbidden lovers. It does not have to be in regards to an illicit affair, but honestly, isn't that use so much more fun?
Here is an example of how to use this word:
The professor flicked his desk light on and off three times, a signal to the young apprentice waiting outside. At last, the final occupied office had been emptied and a clandestine romance was ripe for the taking.
I suggest buying a cloak for this word, or perhaps meeting up with it in the wee hours of the morning. This word apparently has a lot to lose if discovered, so stealth is the key.
