conspiracy (noun), from www.m-w.com
1 : the act of conspiring together
conspire (verb), from www.m-w.com
1 a : to join in a secret agreement to do an unlawful or wrongful act or an act which becomes unlawful as a result of the secret agreement <accused of conspiring to overthrow the government> b : scheme
2 : to act in harmony toward a common end <circumstances conspired to defeat his efforts>
The example in 1a seems ironic, considering most suspected conspiracies these days are supposedly perpetrated by government, not against it.
 Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |
