dissimulate

/dɪˈsɪmjʊˌleɪt/ verb, adjective

Forms dissimulates dissimulating dissimulated

  1. verb (intransitive) To practise deception by concealment or omission, or by feigning a false appearance; to dissemble.
  2. verb (transitive) To disguise or hide by adopting a false appearance; to dissemble.
  3. verb (transitive, rare) To connive at; to wink at; to pretend not to notice.
  4. adjective (obsolete) Feigned, simulated, pretended, false.

Etymology

Inherited from Middle English dissimulaten, dissimilaten, from Latin dissimulātus + -en (“verb-forming suffix”), perfect passive participle of dissimulō (“to conceal, to pretend, to neglect”) (see -ate (verb-forming suffix)), from dissimilis (“unlike”) + -ō (verb-forming suffix). Compare the obsolete dissimule (“to conceal, disguise”), from Old French dissimuler (French dissimuler), ultimately from the same Latin root. Doublet of dissemble, dissimilate, and dissimule.

Inherited from Middle English dissimulat(e), dissimilat(e) (attested in Robert Henryson with an active sense, see the citation page), from dissimulātus, see Etymology 1 and -ate (adjective-forming suffix) for more.
