Syn: Wicked; wrong; unjust; unrighteous; nefarious; criminal.
Usage: {Iniquitous}, {Wicked}, {Nefarious}. Wicked is the
generic term. Iniquitous is stronger, denoting a
violation of the rights of others, usually by fraud or
circumvention. Nefarious is still stronger, implying a
breach of the most sacred obligations, and points more
directly to the intrinsic badness of the deed.
