(neb·u·los·i·ty) neb·u·lous


1. hazy, vague, indistinct, or confused: A nebulous recollection of the meeting; a nebulous distinction between pride and conceit.
2. cloudy or cloudlike.
3. of or resembling a nebula or nebulae; nebular.
4. "There was nothing interesting or even strange about that flat monument, yet it echoed a kind of cliché idea of infinity; perhaps the 'secrets of the universe' are just as pedestrian — not to say dreary. Everything about the site remained wrapped in blandness and littered with shiny cars — one after another they extended into a sunny nebulosity." Smithson, p. 73.
