"狡賢い" meaning in Japanese

See 狡賢い in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: [d͡zɨɾɯ̟ɡa̠ɕiko̞i]
Etymology: Compound of 狡い (zurui, “tricky, cunning, devious”) + 賢い (kashikoi, “smart, clever, intelligent”). The kashikoi changes to gashikoi as an instance of rendaku (連濁). The spelling ずる賢い is more common than 狡賢い, due to the 狡 character falling into disuse.
