Equivocation refers to the use of ambiguous language with the intention to mislead or deceive. It often involves the deliberate use of words that have multiple meanings, allowing the speaker to avoid committing to a single interpretation. This can create confusion or ambiguity, making it difficult for the listener to understand the true intent. Equivocation is frequently used in politics and legal contexts, where precise language is crucial, yet flexibility might be sought to avoid direct answers or accountability.
