Clandestine

Clandestine

<klahn-des-tin>

covert; hidden; stealthy;

something secretly done without others knowing.

She went on a clandestine trip to the store for chocolate. She was back before we knew she left.

Remember:
clandestine reminds of candle.
we do secret things in the dark.

At work:
The development of the new product is clandestine. No one is allowed to see the plans.
