SHUFFLE Copy link • SHUFFLETo agitate tumultuously, so that one thing is thrown into the place of another [Vid: To CONFUSE]. To shuffle cards, perhaps paginas miscere or permiscere. To evade fair questions, etc., deverticula or deverticula flexionesque quaerere (but in Cic. this is proper): tergiversari (to twist and turn one’s self; not to face anything fairly; to shirk anything). Without shuffling, directe or directo (in a straightforward manner): he answered the question in a shuffling manner, alio responsionem suam derivavit. To play mean tricks, fabricam fingere ad aliquem: tragulam in aliquem conjicere: technis aliquem fallere (all comedy): fraude: aliquem tentare. There is some shuffling in the matter, aliquid doli subest: there is no shuffling in it, nihil doli subest.
