geggery means: A Scottish archaic term for trickery, deception, or conjuring tricks. The word suggests sleight of hand, illusion, or dishonest manipulation. Now entirely obsolete and encountered. Register: archaic, historical. Almost never used today; you will find it only in older texts, dictionaries of dialect, or historical writing. Avoid in active vocabulary. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.
