ambagious
     adj : roundabout and unnecessarily wordy; "had a preference for
           circumlocutious (or circumlocutory) rather than
           forthright expression"; "A periphrastic study in a
           worn-out poetical fashion,/ Leaving one still with the
           intolerable wrestle/ With words and
           meanings."-T.S.Eliot; (`ambagious' is archaic) [syn: {circumlocutious},
            {circumlocutory}, {periphrastic}]
