• The deliberate use of ambiguous language on a sensitive issue in order to advance some political purpose. It might be employed in a negotiation, to disguise an inability to resolve a contentious issue on which the parties remain far apart, and to do so in a manner that enables each to claim obtaining some concession on it. Constructive ambiguity warrants hopes that the ensuing postponement of resolution on the particular point, in a way that causes neither side excessive discomfort, will enable them to make progress on other matters. ← Wikipedia
