allusiveness

/əˈɫusɪvnəs/ noun

The quality of being allusive.

Word Origin From Latin ludere 'to play' — to allude is to play toward something, to hint at it indirectly. Allusiveness is the quality of being playful with references. The root lud- gives us elude (play out of reach), delude (play falsely), collude (play together), prelude (play before), and ludicrous (playful, absurd). So allusiveness is a playful, indirect quality.
