untrustworthy
Adjective
This term carries a strong negative judgment, often implying a character flaw or a systemic failure. When applied to people, it suggests a pattern of deceit or a lack of integrity that makes them dangerous to rely upon in a professional or personal capacity. When applied to objects or systems, the word shifts from a moral judgment to a technical one. It describes a state of instability or fragility where the risk of failure is unacceptably high, such as a decaying structure or a glitchy piece of software.
