Wrong-foot is a term used in sports, especially in soccer, that refers to deceiving an opponent by using an unexpected move or trick. There are several synonyms for the word wrong-foot, including sidestep, pivot, feint, fake, and dodge. These words imply a sudden change of direction or a diversion away from one's expected path, causing confusion to the opposing team and giving the player a better chance to score or make a play. Wrong-footing is often used as a strategic move in sports, but also in other aspects of life, such as communication, negotiation, and problem-solving, to throw off the other party's expectations and gain an advantage.
