    like a merit (meret) certificate.. flashy and attractive in a way.. but of no REAL value...

    Meretricious = Mere + Tricious. 'Mere' means triffle or something less important.

    its not Merit, its mere tric(k)

    meretricious sounds like marriage or matrimony- clothes worn at marriage ceremonies are very flashy, gaudy

    mere trick us = its a mere trick to show that she is gaudy while she is hollow

    meretricious actually has no merit.

    mere+precious it looks attractive but its merely precious.

    If we get merit by using tricks, then it's only for display[He cant tell anything in interview]
