  NP- /N-P/ pref. Extremely. Used to modify adjectives describing a level
     or quality of difficulty; the connotation is often `more so than it
     should be'. This is generalized from the computer-science terms
     `NP-hard' and `NP-complete'; NP-complete problems all seem to be very
     hard, but so far no one has found a proof that they are. NP is the set
     of Nondeterministic-Polynomial algorithms, those that can be completed
     by a nondeterministic Turing machine in an amount of time that is a
     polynomial function of the size of the input; a solution for one
     NP-complete problem would solve all the others. "Coding a BitBlt
     implementation to perform correctly in every case is NP-annoying."
  
     Note, however, that strictly speaking this usage is misleading; there
     are plenty of easy problems in class NP. NP-complete problems are hard
     not because they are in class NP, but because they are the hardest
     problems in class NP.

       2: a registered nurse who has received special training and can
          perform many of the duties of a physician [syn: nurse
