Definition
The use of deception or subterfuge to achieve one's purpose. Trickery or dishonest manipulation, especially in legal or political contexts.
Etymology
From French 'chicanerie' meaning trickery, possibly from 'chicane' (obstacle in racing). Originally referred to legal quibbling and petty tricks in court proceedings.
Kelly Says
Think 'CHEAT-anery' - it's about cheating and being sneaky! Or remember 'CHICANE' (a racing obstacle) - chicanery puts obstacles in the way of truth and fairness.
