Opposition to or resistance against scheming, plotting, or cunning arrangements designed to harm or deceive.
From 'anti-' + 'machination' (from Latin 'machinari', to scheme or plot). The term combines the negating prefix with an older English noun describing devious plans.
Antimachination appears in Renaissance and early modern political writings where authors describe virtuous resistance to court conspiracies—it's a word that believed morality could actively oppose deception, not just passively refuse it.
