   Syn: Wicked; wrong; unjust; unrighteous; nefarious; criminal.

   Usage: Iniquitous, Wicked, Nefarious. Wicked is the
          generic term. Iniquitous is stronger, denoting a
          violation of the rights of others, usually by fraud or
          circumvention. Nefarious is still stronger, implying a
          breach of the most sacred obligations, and points more
          directly to the intrinsic badness of the deed.
          [1913 Webster]
