DISGUISING Meaning and
Definition
-
Disguising, as a verb, refers to the act of concealing, altering, or changing one's appearance, identity, or true nature in order to deceive, mislead, or hide from others. It involves adopting a disguise, which can be in the form of clothing, accessories, makeup, or any other means of altering one's physical appearance.
Disguising can serve various purposes, including avoiding detection or recognition, evading capture or punishment, playing a practical joke, or engaging in espionage or subterfuge. Individuals may disguise themselves to blend in with a particular group or environment, or to masquerade as someone else entirely. Disguising allows individuals to assume a different persona, often creating a false or altered identity that is different from their true self.
Disguising can involve both visual alterations and changes in behavior or speech patterns to further enhance the deception. This can include modifying one's voice, mannerisms, or speech style to better match the desired identity or disguise. The act of disguising requires a level of skill and attention to detail in order to effectively deceive others and maintain the illusion.
While disguising is commonly associated with deceit or trickery, it is also a tool employed in various performing arts, such as acting, theater, and costume design. It allows actors to embody different characters and bring them to life, enhancing the overall narrative or performance. In these contexts, disguising serves as a means of creative expression and storytelling rather than manipulation or deception.

Etymology of DISGUISING
The word "disguising" is derived from the Middle English term "disgisen" or "disgayse", which later evolved into "disguise". The Middle English term itself was borrowed from the Old French word "desguiser", meaning "to change one's appearance". The Old French term has its roots in the Vulgar Latin word "disquīsītāre", meaning "to ask questions" or "to inquire". The term "dis-", meaning "apart" or "away", was added as a prefix, while "guīsītāre" is derived from "quis", meaning "what". Over time, the meaning of "disguise" shifted from specifically changing appearance or masquerading to a more general sense of concealing or altering one's identity or true nature.
