misprision ("mis-PRIZN") n
origin: From Old French "mesprison" - error from
"mesprendre", to mistake.
1. The deliberate concealment of one's knowledge of a crime,
treason, etc.
"Thyself thou gav'st, thy own worth then not knowing,
Or me, to whom thou gav'st it, else mistaking;
So thy great gift, upon misprision growing,
Comes home again, on better judgment making."
-- William Shakespeare, sonnet ix
