dishonestly


dis·hon·est

D0269700 (dĭs-ŏn′ĭst)adj.1. Disposed to lie, cheat, defraud, or deceive.2. Resulting from or marked by a lack of honesty.
[Middle English dishoneste, dishonorable, from Old French deshoneste, probably from Medieval Latin *dishonestus : Latin dis-, dis- + Latin honestus, honorable; see honest.]
dis·hon′est·ly adv.Synonyms: dishonest, lying2, untruthful, deceitful, mendacious
These adjectives mean lacking honesty or truthfulness. Dishonest is the least specific: a dishonest reply; a dishonest business executive; had been dishonest with myself.
Lying conveys a blunt accusation of falsehood: a lying witness whose testimony fell apart under cross-examination.
Untruthful is a softer term and often suggests evasiveness or distortion rather than outright lies: published an untruthful account of the incident.
Deceitful implies misleading by falsehood or by concealment of the truth: deceitful advertising.
Mendacious is more formal than lying, and suggests a chronic inclination toward untruth: a mendacious, power-hungry politician.
