Treachery
is a new word that I had learned recently. I found this word when I was reading
a book however I got curious about the meaning of that word that I immediately
looked it up in the dictionary. I found out that the meaning of treachery is an
act of harming someone who trusts you or harmful things that are done usually
secretly to a friend, your own country and etc. Treachery came from Old French
trecherie, from trechier or 'to cheat'. The synonyms are betrayal, backstabbing,
falseness, unfaithfulness, treason, and perfidy. The correct usage examples are
“a tale of treachery and revenge” and “She was furious that she revealed his
secret and never forgave her for the treachery”.
