treacherously in SSC previous-year questions

Select the correctly spelt word out of the four alternatives.
Answer & explanation
Answer: D) Treacherously
Meaning: treacherously = in a way that betrays trust, or dangerously unsafe *(विश्वासघाती ढंग से, छल से; ख़तरनाक रूप से)*.
It is built straight off the noun treachery *(विश्वासघात)* → *treacherous* → *treacherous + ly*.
Build it in three pieces.
treacher + ous + ly
The stem keeps -cher-, the adjective suffix is -ous, and -ly adds only one l.
Why the others are wrong.
• Treachorouslly — writes -chor- for -cher- and doubles the l; the parent noun is *treachery* *(विश्वासघात)*, which has an e.
• Treachirously — puts an i where the e of *treachery* belongs.
• Treacherouslly — the stem is right, but the adverb suffix -ly *(क्रिया-विशेषण प्रत्यय)* never doubles its l after *-ous*.
Word help.
