duplicity
의미: Deceitfulness or double-dealing; the practice of saying one thing while secretly intending or doing another.
Duplicity implies deliberate, sustained deception — saying one thing to one party while doing the opposite behind their back. It is more calculated than mere dishonesty and often involves betrayal of trust. The word is particularly common in political and diplomatic contexts, where leaders may be accused of duplicity in negotiations. It should not be confused with 'duplication' or 'duplicate,' despite sharing the Latin root meaning 'double.'
