Calling someone Machiavellian refers to their use of cunning, duplicity, or deceit to achieve their goals, often at the expense of ethics or morality. The term is derived from the political philosophy of Niccolò Machiavelli, who suggested that the ends justify the means in politics. A Machiavellian individual may manipulate others and exploit situations for personal gain, demonstrating a pragmatic and often ruthless approach to power and influence.
