Cách sử dụng
The word 'machiavellian' is used to describe someone who is sneaky, manipulative and willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. It comes from a book called "The Prince" by Niccolo Machiavelli, which talks about how rulers can gain and maintain power through cunning and guile. You can use this word to describe someone's behavior or actions, especially if they seem to be planning things in a tricky or devious way. For example, you might say that a politician is being Machiavellian if they are using underhanded tactics to win an election, or that a coworker is being Machiavellian if they are trying to get ahead by sabotaging their colleagues.
