The word 'nebulous' comes from the Latin 'nebulosus,' meaning 'misty' or 'cloudy.' This stems from 'nebula,' meaning 'mist' or 'cloud.' It literally evokes the image of a cloud obscuring something. It relates to the celestial 'nebula' in space. Think of things hidden in the mist.
Imagine reading fan theories about a movie. Some theories are detailed and well-supported, but others are *nebulous*. They are full of holes and don't really make sense. These nebulous theories are hard to believe because they lack evidence; they are just speculation with a lack of detail. 😵💫
