We have all used or read or heard these words somewhere in our daily lives I am sure, but have we ever bothered to look them up and see there true meaning? I had not until it dawned on me to do so after I heard some asinine politician say "It was a ruse of some kind, he was sure."

So there we are folks straight out of our very own dictionary .......RUSE

an artifice or trick in war for deceiving and outwitting the enemy
