MACHINATION

[/ˌmæk.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/]

Definition

The method employed by one's opponents in baffling one's open and honorable efforts to do the right thing.

Additional notes

So plain the advantages of machination It constitutes a moral obligation, And honest wolves who think upon't with loathing Feel bound to don the sheep's deceptive clothing. So prospers still the diplomatic art, And Satan bows, with hand upon his heart. R.S.K.
