Here is a context clues worksheet on the adjective furtive. It means, variously, “done by stealth,” “surreptitious,” “expressive of stealth,” “sly,” “obtained underhandedly,” and “stolen.” The adjective is furtively and the noun is furtiveness. This is a relatively high-frequency word in English and one, I would argue, students really ought to know before they graduate high school.
