Exoteric

Among educated people, the word "esoteric" is widely known and used without concern for being obscure. On the other hand, the word "exoteric" is completely obscure, known only to those that scour dictionaries. Thus, "exoteric" is an esoteric word and "esoteric" is an exoteric word; the two words refer to each other.

The word traces to Greek roots meaning "outer."
