Spurious की शुरुआत में 'spoof' सुनिए। Spoof यानी लोगों को बेवक़ूफ़ बनाने वाली नकली नकल। जो चीज़ वैसी न हो जैसी होने का दावा करे — नकली दवा, झूठा बहाना — वह spurious है।

Hear 'spoof' at the start of SPURIOUS. A spoof is a fake copy made to fool people. Anything that is not what it claims to be — a fake medicine, a false excuse — is spurious.
