What does ambiguois mean?

"Ambiguous" means open to more than one interpretation. It means something is unclear or confusing because it can have multiple meanings.

Here are some ways to think about it:

* Having a double meaning: A statement could be interpreted in two different ways.

* Lacking clarity: The meaning is not clear and could be understood in multiple ways.

* Causing uncertainty: The ambiguity makes it difficult to know what is intended or meant.

Examples:

* "He left the door open." (Did he leave it open on purpose, or was it an accident?)

* "The movie was good." (What does "good" mean? Was it entertaining, thought-provoking, or both?)

* "She's a very interesting person." (What aspects of her make her interesting?)

Opposite of Ambiguous:

The opposite of ambiguous is clear, unambiguous, explicit, or definite.
