treasonous
含义: Involving or constituting treason — the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to overthrow the government or aid its enemies.
Treasonous is the strongest term in the hierarchy of political disloyalty, denoting acts that strike at the foundation of the state. In British law, high treason historically included plotting to kill the monarch, levying war against the Crown, and aiding foreign enemies. 'Treasonous acts,' 'treasonous intentions,' and 'branded as treasonous' are standard collocations. The word is also used figuratively and hyperbolically in everyday speech to describe any act of extreme betrayal or disloyalty.

起源与历史
From treason, from Anglo-French treisoun, from Latin traditionem (a handing over, delivery), from tradere (to hand over, betray), from trans- (over) + dare (to give). The same root gives us 'tradition' — one involves handing down customs, the other handing over secrets.
