Dissemble
Definition: to hide under a false appearance
Dissemble came to English from the French word dissimuler
(“to hide,” “to conceal”), and ultimately from the Latin word dissimulare (“to conceal“ or “to disguise”).
The word dissimule—much closer to the French spelling
—was used in English until dissemble displaced it around 1600,
possibly because of the influence of the unrelated word resemble.
The link to resemble resonates in Shakespeare: in Twelfth Night,
the Bard used dissemble to mean “to disguise”
—that is, “to not resemble”—when the Clown imitates a clergyman:
In many contexts today,
dissemble is used as a near-synonym of “to lie”:
Resemble seems to haunt dissemble in a literal way:
our evidence shows
that dissemble is used where disassemble is intended
with sufficient frequency to show that they are very easily confused.
