The word ænigma, which is derived from the Greek substantive ainigma, which the Latins call scirpus, signifies an obscure speech, or discourse, covering something common and universally known, under remote and uncommon terms. It is also frequently called riddle, probably from the Belgic readen, or the Saxon araethan — to interpret. Fra.
