短语
  1. Synonym of ignotum per ignotius (“explaining an obscure subject by resort to one even more obscure”).
    — We have no doubt—in spite of those rumours to the contrary which took so preposterous a shape in the table-talk of Lord Byron—that Miss More’s part in the transaction was blameless; but she certainly owes little to the dull slipslop with which Mr. Roberts has contrived to overlay—obscurum per obscurius—the only page in her history that really demanded elucidation.

词源

From Latin obscūrum per obscūrius, “[to explain] the obscure by the more obscure”.
