Iniquitous \In*iq"ui*tous\, a. [From {Iniquity}.]
Characterized by iniquity; unjust; wicked; as, an iniquitous
bargain; an iniquitous proceeding.
[1913 Webster]
Demagogues . . . bribed to this iniquitous service.
--Burke.
Syn: Wicked; wrong; unjust; unrighteous; nefarious; criminal.
Usage: {Iniquitous}, {Wicked}, {Nefarious}. Wicked is the
generic term. Iniquitous is stronger, denoting a
violation of the rights of others, usually by fraud or
circumvention. Nefarious is still stronger, implying a
breach of the most sacred obligations, and points more
directly to the intrinsic badness of the deed.
[1913 Webster]
From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:

adj 1: characterized by iniquity; wicked because it is believed
to be a sin; "iniquitous deeds"; "he said it was sinful
to wear lipstick"; "ungodly acts" [syn: {iniquitous},
{sinful}, {ungodly}]
