difference between deceive and cheat
- "Deceive" means to deliberately mislead someone.
"Cheat" indicates the cheater also gains something from the deception (e.g. money, advantage).
- I use them almost synonymous.. I don't think there is a difference. Deceive is a bit more formal, that's it.
- cheat = to behave in a dishonest way in order to get what you want
deceive = to persuade someone that something false is the truth; to keep the truth hidden from someone for your own advantage; to trick
