Definition:
Murky describes water, air, or meaning that has lost clarity. It suggests depth filled with suspended shadow, where shapes blur and certainty disappears. Murkiness can be natural, like silted water, or emotional, like motives that refuse to be plain. The word carries a sense of something obscured but present. It captures darkness that hides detail rather than swallowing it whole.
