Abscondo/abscondere/abscondi or abscondidi/absconditum - to hide, conceal carefully.
Verb of the third declension. The past participle absconditus is used as an adjective to mean hidden, concealed or secret.
Formed from the preposition abs (from) and the verb condo (to put away).
Lewis and Short comment that the idea of careful concealment distinguishes abscondo from other verbs like celo which also contain the idea of hiding.
