means Language deliberately constructed to obscure, distort, or reverse its real meaning — making unpleasant things sound neutral or even good.

from Coined in the mid-20th century as a blend inspired by George Orwell's novel 1984, which featured 'Newspeak' (the regime's shrunken official language) and 'doublethink' (holding two contradictory beliefs at once). Orwell himself never used the word 'doublespeak' — it was assembled later by critics and commentators fusing his ideas into one handy label for political and bureaucratic language that hides what it means. It caught on especially through mid-century critiques of government and military jargon, becoming the go-to word for euphemism weaponized as policy.
