 | | "Iniquitous" is a synonym for "wrong," but you wouldn't use it in the context of someone getting the wrong answer on a math test. This adjective has a powerful connotation related to the moral quality or fairness of something. To declare a judgment as iniquitous is to claim in formal terms that it's profoundly immoral or unjust in some way. |
