I want an adjective for "betray". 'Traitorous' is not the exact meaning I am looking for. But something that conveys exactly the meaning as the word 'betraying' as in "a betraying husband", in the sense of being unfaithful. I am thinking of creating the word "betrayous". Any better suggestion?

Many years ago I saw this word in print somewhere: encodificationalization . But haven't seen this word anywhere since. The closest is codification. Any clues, anybody?

pappajoseph commented on the word baconalia
That's a good one, yarb. Perhaps we can call the place where baconalia is served as 'hamlet' too. Or for the community of people who enjoy it - which is more akin to the dictionary definition.
