Machiavellian (mak-ee-a-vel-yan) adj cleverly deceitful and unscrupulous [after Machiavelli, political philosopher] Machiavellianism n
Now I think I've heard this word before, but I'm pretty sure that I've never known what it meant.
See you tomorrow

Great choice for today's word. I love this word, takes me back to older times.
