         DefinitionShort: (derivative of {L:ψεύδομαι} ‘to lie,’ {D:33.253}) one who utters falsehoods and lies

         Glosses: liar

         Comments: Since lying is a universal, there is usually no difficulty in obtaining a satisfactory term for ‘liar,’ though frequently the equivalent is an idiomatic expression, for example, ‘to speak too much,’ ‘to speak with two tongues,’ or ‘to speak what is not one’s thoughts.’
