?Which word?

illusive, elusive and allusive

Illusive (rare) means deceptive or unreal, from illusion; illusory is the more common word. Elusive means difficult to catch, find or remember: 'an elusive criminal', 'elusive success'. Allusive means containing indirect references (allusions) to other things: 'an allusive poem'.

Illusive (दुर्लभ) का अर्थ 'भ्रामक या अवास्तविक' है, illusion से; illusory अधिक आम शब्द है। Elusive का अर्थ 'जिसे पकड़ना, खोजना या याद रखना कठिन हो' है: 'an elusive criminal', 'elusive success'। Allusive का अर्थ 'अन्य चीज़ों के अप्रत्यक्ष संदर्भों (allusions) वाला' है: 'an allusive poem'।

The illusive/elusive/allusive set is a regular spelling and meaning trap.
