About

The Chinese word 伪装 is formed by combining two characters: 伪, which means "false" or "fake", and 装, which means "to dress up", "to install", or "to outfit". Conceptually, they merge to create the idea of "creating a false outfit or appearance", directly visualizing the act of disguising or camouflaging something by giving it a deceptive external form.
