Today’s Wonderful Word: “machinations.”
Definition: crafty schemes; plots; intrigues.
Etymology: Machinations was first recorded around 1375-1425. Machinations comes from the late Middle English word machinacion. The verb form, machinate, entered English over a century later from a Latin word meaning “to invent, contrive, devise artfully,” and is related to the more common word machine, “a mechanical apparatus or contrivance.”
Example:
The mastermind behind the political machinations orchestrated a complex web of deceit to manipulate public opinion.
