/Sounds like "trah" (as in "tract") + "MOH" (as in "more") + "yah" (as in "yard")/
A deceptive scheme or dirty play set up to take advantage of someone who never sees it coming. In Mexico, a tramoya happens behind the scenes so the victim loses without understanding what hit them. The word originally meant stage machinery in theater, which captures it perfectly: all the manipulation happens offstage.
“They set up a whole scheme to take his job away and he never even noticed.”
“Do not fall for that, it is just a trick the salesperson is running on you.”
