I ran across perspicuous in a Language Log post. seems like a good word, but it was unfamiliar to me. (clearly, my vocab is lacking.) it doesn't show up in etymonline, so I'm not sure about its root, from perspicere.
it was an AWAD word a few years back (thanks, Dr. Bill!).
anybody use this semi-regularly?

not to be confused with perspicacious (from the same root?)

perspicere, to see through

OED has them cross-defined; to wit:
perspicuous - 4. improperly. Discerning, perspicacious. rare.
perspicacious - 3. erron. Clear, translucent, perspicuous. rare.

> perspicacious

so, user's choice?
