perfidious \per-FID-ee-us\ adjective
of, relating to, or characterized by faithlessness or disloyalty
: treacherous
Example Sentence:
"Businessmen are constantly scheming to get the government to beat up on
their competitors, and the best excuse of all is that the competitor is a
perfidious foreigner." (The Wall Street Journal, October 27, 1992)
Did you know?
We wouldn't lie to you about the history of "perfidious" -- even though
the word itself suggests deceitfulness. The modern English meaning of
"perfidious" remains faithful to that of its Latin ancestor, "perfidus,"
which means "faithless." English speakers have used "perfidious" to mean
"treacherous" since at least 1572. One of the earliest known uses of the
term can be found in Act V, scene iii of Shakespeare's All's Well That
Ends Well: the "perfidious slave" Parolles is thought to be an unreliable
witness; he'll say whatever suits his purpose, whether true or not.
In contemporary usage, "perfidious" not only implies treacherousness, but
an inability to be reliable or honorable.
