Why this word is great
CIRCUMLOCUTIONIST — [Noun] A person who habitually uses indirect, roundabout, or evasive language. From circumlocution, from the Latin circum- ("around") and loquī ("to speak"), plus the agent-noun suffix -ist ("one who does or practices"). Unlike an equivocator, who uses ambiguity to deceive, or a paragon of concision, who prizes the shortest path, the circumlocutionist often spirals with a sincere prolixity, encircling the point rather than merely obscuring it. It is the diplomat speaking in polished paragraphs that trace a perfect circle; the academic sentence that unfurls like a cautious tendril, feeling for a safe perch; the polite refusal so layered in pleasantries that the "no" dissolves into ambient static. We adorn the void with chatter, lest we hear the echo.
