the.com/deceiver
Someone who trusts you enough to lie to your face.
means A person who deliberately makes you believe something false.
from From Old French 'deceveir,' tracing back to Latin 'decipere' — 'de-' (down, away) plus 'capere' (to take or seize). To deceive someone was literally to 'catch' or 'trap' them, the way a hunter takes prey. The same root 'capere' gives us 'capture' and 'captivate' — all cousins in the family of being caught off guard.
