Specious (adjective)
[spee-shus]
“No, this is not a typo. I don't mean spacious. According to the Macquarie Dictionary, specious is something that is apparently good or right but without real merit. So you might have a ‘specious argument' or say ‘the artistic work had a specious air of quality but was actually rubbish'.”
