Definition
Plural of cheatery; places, situations, or instances characterized by cheating or deception.
Etymology
From 'cheatery' (the condition or act of cheating, from 'cheat' + '-ery' suffix). The '-ery' suffix denotes a place, practice, or instance of an activity, similar to 'bakery' or 'sorcery.'
Kelly Says
This word is beautifully obsolete—it reflects an older English style of turning almost any verb into a place or practice with '-ery,' but we've mostly stopped doing this. Finding 'cheateries' in old texts is like discovering a fossil of how English-speakers once thought about language-building.
