Surreptitious - a podcast by Word of the Day

Surreptitious is an adjective that means done in secret. 

Surreptitious comes from surripere (soo re PEER ay) the Latin word for ‘seizing or stealing secretly.’ Surreptitious behavior doesn’t necessarily involve stealing, but it typically involves doing things in secret because they are not approved of.
