turbid - Word of the Day - Sat Sep 12, 2026
Quoteturbid - (adj) - (of liquids) clouded as with sediment
QuoteAfter days of heavy rain, the river became so turbid with stirred-up sediment that the rocks beneath the surface were no longer visible.
QuoteTurbid is often more vivid than simply saying "muddy" or "cloudy" because it suggests suspended particles obscuring clarity. It's especially useful in nature writing, environmental reports, mystery novels, and literary fiction when you want the condition of water to reflect confusion, danger, or uncertainty.
