DOUBLECROSS Meaning and Definition

1. Doublecross, also spelled double-cross, is a noun that refers to an act of betrayal or deception in which someone deliberately deceives or cheats another person, especially someone they previously appeared to trust or have an allegiance with. It is a term commonly used in the context of interpersonal relationships and particular situations requiring trust and loyalty, such as friendships, alliances, partnerships, or secret agreements.

   The term "doublecross" can also be used as a verb, meaning to engage in such an act of betrayal or deceit. To doublecross someone is to intentionally break trust or violate an agreement for personal gain or to harm another person, often leaving the victim feeling shocked, hurt, or betrayed by the unexpected turn of events.

   The act of doublecrossing often involves establishing a facade of trust or loyalty in order to exploit or deceive the unsuspecting person. This can manifest through actions, manipulation, false promises, or by providing misleading information. The doublecrosser typically gains an advantageous position or benefit from their deceptive actions, while leaving the other party in a disadvantaged or vulnerable state, both emotionally and practically.

   Doublecrossing can have severe consequences on relationships, as it undermines the foundation of trust and damages the bond between individuals involved. It is generally viewed as a morally wrong, dishonest act, leading to feelings of resentment, anger, and disappointment.

Etymology of DOUBLECROSS

The word "doublecross" originated in the early 20th century and is a compound word formed from two distinct terms: "double" and "cross".

The term "double" comes from the Old French word "doble", meaning "twofold" or "twice as much". It eventually entered the English language around the 14th century, retaining a similar meaning of "twice" or "two times".

The word "cross" is derived from the Old English word "cros" or "cruc", which has its roots in the Latin word "crux". It refers to an intersection of lines or two lines overlapping, which symbolizes "to cross" or "to intersect".

When these two words are combined, "doublecross" refers to a deceptive act of betraying someone who initially trusted or had faith in the person performing the act.
