*Obscurification / Obfuscation / Beclouding

"Here be dragons.."

https://www.facebook.com/agryfp/posts/10154154358283343

"Obfuscation is the obscuring of intended meaning in communication, making the message confusing, willfully ambiguous, or harder to understand. It may be intentional or unintentional (although the former is usually connoted) and may result fromcircumlocution (yielding wordiness) or from use of jargon or even argot (yielding economy of words but excluding outsiders from the communicative value). Unintended obfuscation in expository writing is usually a natural trait of early drafts in the writing process, when the composition is not yet advanced, and it can be improved with critical thinking and revising, either by the writer or by another person with sufficient reading comprehension and editing skills."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obfuscation

Beclouding "The process of becoming clouded or obscured."
