circumbendibus

[prettygoodword]

circumbendibus - n., a roundabout way, circumlocution.


Wait, just noun? I want to use it as an adverb. Literally, "bent about" -- coined in the late 17th century from the Anglo-Saxon bend plus Latin suffix and prefix.

No I meant in this form, it looks like it should be usable as an adverb. "He talks circumbendibus."
