Re: Sum the season up in 3 words
flattering to deceive
It is what students of french call a "faux-ami" or false friend. Decevoir doesn't mean deceive but disappoint. To flatter means to make someone pleased - close to the more normal meaning, ie to praise. Putting them together you get the idea of initially making someone pleased, only the more to disappoint afterwards.
Sorry for the more than three words but the explanation says exactly how it has been for me.
