An allusion is an indirect or passing reference, a way to call something to mind without stating it directly. The success of an allusion depends on the audience "getting it," so you might think about "ALL-U" getting the reference to remind you that an allusion isn't immediately understood.
You might also remember that "ALL Understand" an allusion or even "ALL" don't get it. Any way you can remember ALLusion instead of ILLusion would help you remember the word.
To remember the definition, you could also think of Anti-direct or Anti-statement so you'll think of it being an indirect statement.
