Wordy, verbose, prolix, diffuse mean using more words than necessary to express thought. Wordy may also imply loquaciousness or garrulity. A wordy speech verbose suggests a resulting dullness, obscurity, or lack of incisiveness or precision.

Diffuse reflection is the property of light to scatter when reflecting off a surface. Light travels in a straight line, and when it strikes an object, its expected primary angle of reflection is called a specular reflection. In addition, the light also reflects in all possible angles and directions. The degree or magnitude of this diffused reflection is dependent upon the characteristics of the reflecting substance and surface.
Some surfaces, such as a highly polished metal mirror, reflect light at nearly 100% specular efficiency. Other surfaces, such as those of some crystals or liquids, may most or all of it to pass through the surface and medium. Most objects of the world, including the above examples, reflect light both specularly and diffusely to varying degrees. Diffuse reflection is the primary property of light that allows human eyes to see an object.
The main determinant of reflection is the surface’s absorption of light. Polished surfaces such as white marble stone, or the randomly irregular fibers of paper, reflect diffuse light with nearly equal efficiency. Black objects tend to absorb more light. Some naturally occurring as well as human made things emit light and overwhelm any diffuse reflection from their surface to distinguish them as objects.
