The concept of clandestine is used in our language to refer to something hidden, secret and that is generally hidden because it has a component of illegality which makes it better to hide it because otherwise, if it were exposed, the person could fit some punishment by the laws in force or some authority.
By case it is that the clandestine is normally linked or associated with illegal activities, for example the clandestine sale of some goods, drugs, clandestine meetings carried out by people and whose mission is to provoke a coup or destabilize some situation.
Now, we must also mention that there are issues that are hidden not for fear of judicial punishment but because at the level moral they are reprehensible. For example, a man who cheats on her wife with another, and even more, maintains a romantic relationship with the latter and Of course, he does not want it to be known, he will keep all the meetings in a veiled way, secretly, so that his wife or anyone else know.
On the other hand, there are issues that are not illegal or prohibited but are still maintained anyway. clandestinely, they hide because there is fear that they will become known and that they will generate some reprisal in someone.
For example, a young woman whose her family does not let her have a boyfriend decides to see hers loved hers secretly from her so that her parents do not hold her back or forbid him to leave her.
Likewise, on the political level, clandestinity is something that was commonly appreciated throughout the throughout history and even today it is possible to see it in those political settings in which dictatorship wave autocracy and then those who think differently are persecuted, leaving them no choice but to demonstrate or move in a clandestine way.
As we can see, the clandestine is a matter that is appreciated with recurrence in life and that can be motivated by the most diverse issues.
Obviously it is not a recommended situation, much less, because it implies illegality, concealment and lies, which ideal it would be that the clandestine does not exist.
