Single word for "trust breaker"?

English Language & Usage Asked by Aram on January 11, 2021

I was just wondering if there a single English word or term that means “trust breaker” (that is, a person who breaks a trust).

The words "turncoat" and "deceiver" can be used to mean "trust breaker," but both have a connotation of betrayal.

Correct answer by Andrew Ng on January 11, 2021

Traitor and Betrayer are the two words I can think of other than the ones mentioned in the above answer.

The strongest single term I can think of is "perfidious", relating of or to "perfidy" - the deliberate breach of trust, or betrayal.

Other words would include "oathbreaker" (arguably a compound word, "oath-breaker"), or traitor.
