Contrived is a word that refers to actions or events that are artificial or forced, usually lacking in authenticity or naturalness. Some synonyms for contrived include calculated, fabricated, devised, artificial, false, forced, phony, and synthetic. These words share the characteristics that the situation or behavior in question is not organic or genuine but is instead engineered to achieve a specific outcome or impression. Rather than happening naturally, contrived situations or actions are often staged or manipulated, leading to a sense of inauthenticity or insincerity. Using any of these synonyms can help to add nuance and precision to writing, making it more descriptive and impactful.
