Why this word is great
MISCREANCE — [Noun] Adherence to a false or heretical religious belief; false faith. From Middle English *myscreaunce*, from Old French *mescreance*, from *mes-* ("mis-") + *creance* ("belief, faith"), from Vulgar Latin *crēdentia* ("belief"). Unlike "heresy," which denotes a specific doctrinal rebellion within an established orthodoxy, or "infidelity," which suggests a mere absence or betrayal of faith, miscreance is the architecture of a sincere but damned conviction. It is the chill of a schismatic chapel, the fervent whisper over a forbidden text, and the obstinate refusal to cross oneself before a state-sanctioned icon—a lonely fidelity to a truth the world has branded a lie.
