Enigmatic Description is a literary-compositional method in riddle composition that formulates indirect, puzzling representations of a subject through metaphorical, ambiguous, or paradoxical language, distinguishing it from literal or descriptive exposition by deliberately concealing the referent while inviting interpretive inference.
