Allusive describes language that mentions a subject, person, or story indirectly. An allusive poem, joke, or speech is full of hints at other things; you understand it better if you already know those things. It is the adjective that sits next to the noun allusion. Critics and teachers use it; it is not a kitchen-table word. A style can be lightly allusive — one wink at a film — or allusive, with almost every line leaning on something else. It does not mean “unclear” in a lazy way. The writer is being indirect on purpose, and the extra meaning is the point.

- English poetry is compelled by the stubbornness of the language continually to renounce the too obviously poetic: but in seeking to be more precise, more dense and more allusive, Russian poetry has never had to give up the straightforward traditional intoxications of sound and rhyme.
- The footnotes ensure that the lines become more allusive and more polysemantic, vacillating between transubstantiation and ghostly intimations.
