Treason (Merriam-Webster): the betrayal of a trust : treachery.
- sympil 2y agoI was using the legal definition of the term as it pertains to U.S. law. It is a betrayal for sure. In American English I’ve never heard someone use the term to refer to anything other than a betrayal of one’s own country.
