- 1不忠的
If you are disloyal, you do or say things that do not stand by your friends, your country, or the group you belong to. You owed them your support, and you did not give it. A disloyal friend tells your secret. A disloyal colleague helps the other team. A newspaper might call a politician disloyal for attacking their own party. Though actually, people fight over this word, because it judges. One person hears a protest and says it is disloyal to the country; another says speaking up is a kind of loyalty. Among friends it can also be used lightly, almost as a joke — disloyal of you to like their coffee better than mine — but the real word is heavy. It sits near , and, when the group is a country and the harm is on purpose, near traitor, which is stronger still. It is not the same as simply not liking someone.
組成dis- (not, the opposite) + loyal. From Middle English, from Anglo-Norman desleal, desloial.
