Duplicity


Definition:

  • (n.) Doubleness; a twofold state.
  • (n.) Doubleness of heart or speech; insincerity; a sustained form of deception which consists in entertaining or pretending to entertain one of feelings, and acting as if influenced by another; bad faith.
  • (n.) The use of two or more distinct allegations or answers, where one is sufficient.
  • (n.) In indictments, the union of two incompatible offenses.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Short incubations with heparin (5 min) caused a release of the enzyme into the media, while longer incubations caused a 2-8-fold increase in net lipoprotein lipase secretion which was maximal after 2-16 h depending on cell type, and persisted for 24 h. The effect of heparin was dose-dependent and specific (it was not duplicated by other glycosaminoglycans).
