I had a heck of a time with this word, because I first heard it as “perfiderol”, which, of course, is not a word. I looked it up in my trusty sites: www.wordreference.com, www.dictionary.com, and http://www.merriam-webster.com. They didn’t have any worthwhile suggestions for me. Even Google didn’t initially suggest anything, except for perfideral, which was one site where someone clearly mistook it for “peripheral”. I tried perfideral, perfiderole, periderol, periderole, pirfiderol, pirfiderole….. didn’t think to substitute the schwa with a letter “u”. Anyway, I’m posting this here, in case someone else is looking up the same thing.
