One I remember my dad once defined.
Obstitute, which he suggested was an institute for destitute prostitutes.
Now why do I remember that after all these years?

juxtaposition (n.) Look up juxtaposition at Dictionary.com 1660s, from French juxtaposition (1660s), from Latin iuxta "beside, near" + French position (see position (n.)). Latin iuxta is a contraction of *iugista (adv.), superlative of adjective *iugos "closely connected," from stem of iugum "yoke," from iungere "to join" Not to be confused with the word, missionary

Origin: 1560–70; < Latin clandestīnus, equivalent to *clande, *clamde, variant of clam secretly (with -de adv. particle) + -stīnus, probably after intestīnus internal; see intestine So it means ...........as secret as a clams intestine?
