godan verb (-ru), transitive verb

Focuses on the act of deceiving someone, often with an object marked by を. More strongly transitive than sense 1.

嘘うそをつく
嘘をつく is the most common way to say 'tell a lie' in everyday speech. 偽る is more formal and often implies falsifying facts or pretending, rather than just telling a casual lie.
騙だます
騙す means 'to deceive' or 'to trick' with a focus on causing someone to believe something false, often for personal gain. 偽る emphasizes the act of falsifying or pretending itself, and can be used without a direct victim.

Derived from the classical verb 偽る (itsuwaru), with the same meaning. The kanji 偽 carries the meaning of 'falsehood' or 'imitation'.
