canting
The adjective sense of this word carries a strong negative connotation, specifically targeting those who use a facade of piety or moral superiority to mask their true intentions. It is far more specialized than "hypocritical," as it specifically evokes the image of sanctimonious preaching or religious pretension.
In its physical sense, the word describes a specific angle of inclination. While "tilting" is a general term, "canting" often implies a deliberate or structural slant, such as in architecture or nautical contexts, to achieve a functional purpose.
