underhanded
This term carries a strong negative charge when describing behavior, suggesting a calculated lack of transparency. It implies a deliberate attempt to hide one's true intentions or actions to gain an unfair advantage, often evoking a sense of betrayal or sneakiness. It is more pointed than "dishonest," as it specifically emphasizes the secretive nature of the deception.
In a sporting or physical context, the word is neutral and purely descriptive. It refers to the mechanical motion of a throw or pitch where the arm remains below the shoulder, such as in softball or specific baseball plays. This technical usage is entirely distinct from the moral judgment associated with the word's social application.
