Purjurious Verdure

The philolog would like to apologize for misleading you, dear reader. Perjurous is NOT a word. The adjective form of the noun perjury is perjurious. So there is no word that rhymes with verdurous.


purjury --n. false, misleading, or incomplete testimony.

purjurer -- n. one who breaks promises or lies under oath.

purjurious -- adj. characterized by the breaking of promises or misleading or prevaricating.
