- 1偽造、竄改、造假（改數字或文件讓它變假。科學上另有「證偽」，指證明理論不成立）
Falsification is the act of changing numbers, papers, or records so they are no longer true — a cooked account book, a changed date, a “fixed” test score. The person is not merely wrong; they have made the information false on purpose. It is a formal word. Courts, newspapers, and offices use it. Though actually, scientists use the same noun in another way: the falsification of a theory is the showing that the theory cannot be right. That is not cheating. It is one name for how an idea is tested. Same spelling, very different feeling. For most , the cheating-with-records sense is the one that matters first.
組成false + -ification (the making of something). So: the making-false of records.
