Iscariot
The twelfth disciple
Iscariot identifies Judas, the apostle who betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver.
The name likely indicates his origin—"man of Kerioth," a town in Judea.
Used allusively, an Iscariot is a traitor, especially one who betrays a close associate for money or personal gain: He was the Iscariot of the movement, selling out his allies.
