Today’s “Word of the Day” is ruse and it is a noun meaning “ploy, tactic, trick, stratagem, cunning plan, manoeuvre, machination, smokescreen”.
Example Sentence: Nobel Peace Prize winner & Former State Counsellor of Myanmar Aung San Suu Kyi remains in detention, her location unknown. The charges she faces – among them possession of illegally imported walkie-talkies – are clearly a ruse intended to prolong her confinement while the military finds a way to stymie (prevent/obstruct) her popular influence.
This word is present in The Guardian article The generals in Myanmar are not as secure as they look, and click here to read it.
