Iniquitous \In*iq"ui*tous\, a. [From Iniquity.] Characterized by iniquity; unjust; wicked; as, an iniquitous bargain; an iniquitous proceeding. [1913 Webster] Demagogues . . . bribed to this iniquitous service. --Burke. Syn: Wicked; wrong; unjust; unrighteous; nefarious; criminal. Usage: Iniquitous, Wicked, Nefarious. Wicked is the generic term. Iniquitous is stronger, denoting a violation of the rights of others, usually by fraud or circumvention. Nefarious is still stronger, implying a breach of the most sacred obligations, and points more directly to the intrinsic badness of the deed. [1913 Webster]
