the.com/betrayer

Someone who uses the trust you gave them as the means to hurt you.

means Someone who breaks trust or loyalty by turning against a person who relied on them.

from From 'betray,' which traces back through Old French 'trair' to Latin 'tradere' — literally 'to hand over' (trans- 'across' + dare 'to give'). The same root that gives us 'tradition' once meant handing something down in good faith; betrayal is that same act curdled, handing someone over to their enemy instead.
