Treacherous has two related but distinct uses. About a person, it means willing to those who trust them — in a dangerous, harmful way, not just unreliable ('a treacherous friend' gave your secrets to your enemies). About conditions, especially weather, roads, or terrain, it means deceptively dangerous — the danger isn't obvious just by looking, which is exactly what makes it dangerous ('treacherous ice' looks harmless but can make you fall badly; 'a treacherous mountain path' looks walkable but hides real risk).
(人)背信的、陰險的;(路況等)看似平常卻很危險的
組成treachery + -ous.
