Today’s “Word of the Day” is “malfeasance” and it is a noun meaning “deception, duplicity, lying, falseness, falsehood, untruthfulness wrongdoing, misconduct (particularly by a public official)”.
Example Sentence: Successive governments can be charged with economic mismanagement — fiscal and budgetary — but you can implicate the Gotabaya Rajapaksa presidency with a lot of missteps that led the country to where it is now, staring over the economic precipice (a very steep cliff). What you see now is a perfect storm — economic mismanagement over the years and political malfeasance, which you can lay at the door of the Rajapaksas.
