Definition
The act or practice of hiding one's true feelings, intentions, or character; deception through disguise or pretense.
Etymology
From Latin dissimulatio, formed from dissimulare with the -tion suffix. This noun describes the practice or result of dissimulating. It appears in literature and philosophy as a studied form of deception.
Kelly Says
Dissimulation was considered an art form in Renaissance courts—Machiavelli discussed it as a necessary political skill, and writers would describe courtiers' dissimulation as they navigated deadly political intrigue where honesty meant death.
