Behaviour that is dishonest and meant to deceive.
"We should therefore not make too much of the fraudulence of all that on-screen wailing. Just because North Korean TV never films anything before rehearsing all spontaneity out of it does not mean the average citizen was unmoved."

Etymology
Came into English from Old French fraudulence, which developed from Latin fraudulentia ("deceitfulness, disposition to defraud; fraudulence"), itself from fraudulentus ("deceitful, fraudulent") plus -ia (a suffix forming abstract nouns). Fraudulentus in turn comes from fraus ("deceit, fraud") (from Proto-Indo-European *dʰrew-, "to mislead") plus -ulentus ("abounding in, full of").
