noun
A peculiar state or quality where the outer appearance of something is so obtuse and convoluted that it cycles back into an apparent sense of reason—only to double back into sheer absurdity when scrutinized. An obsortex represents an object or idea that masks its potential simplicity with a baffling surface, embodying a paradox that challenges understanding.
Etymology:
From “ob-” (against or towards, as in obtuse) and “esortex,” implying a resistance to being straightforward, favoring the coexistence of depth and irrationality in a logical dance of perception.
Example Sentence:
The philosophical treatise was a true obsortex, presenting itself as a maze of twisted logic that, at every turn, suggested coherence only to laugh in the face of comprehension upon a second glance. It was a masterpiece of ambisurdity—both brilliant and ludicrous.
