An archaic or rare term for deception, falsehood, or a fallacious statement.
From Latin fallacia, meaning deception or deceit. The English fallace appears in Middle English texts as a direct borrowing. It's largely obsolete, replaced by modern terms like fallacy and deception.
Fallace is an old-fashioned word for lies and deception—you almost never hear it anymore because 'fallacy' and 'deception' took over, but it reminds us that English is always dropping old words!
