protestation, n: 1. An emphatic declaration. 2. Formal declaration of objection Must we really have words that can mean the exact opposite?

@propensive But look at this: "protestations of one's virtue even when one chooses vice". To me 1. and 2. here mean exactly the opposite.
@teozaurus "There's a bit of protestation going on here. Something about virtue. Go figure whether that's the accusation or the defence."
