Clandestine

Part of Speech: Adjective

Source Sent. & Page #:
"This clandestine operation, however, required a handshake with a five-dollar bill enclosed." Pg. 51

Context Clues: From my logic, operation is a type of mission so the word must mean a detailed meaning of the mission. Since it requires a handshake, some antonyms for clandestine could be secrecy or unrevealing.

Definition: kept or done in secret, often in order to conceal an illicit or improper purpose.

Your Original Sentence: My brothers and I made a tough clandestine deal to not tell our parents what had happened last night.
