dissemble是什么意思

dissemble

英 [dɪ'semb(ə)l] 美
  • vt. 掩饰,掩盖;假装
  • vi. 隐藏,掩饰(思想、感情等)

助记提示


1、dis- + sembl- + -e.
2、这里的前缀dis-主要用于表示贬义,也就是说这是一种带贬义的be like,与一般意义的、中性的或者褒义的seem、be like相对立的一种含义。
3、其实该词也就是由dissimulate衍生而来,也就是说它来源于dissimulate,因此可以说它是dissimulate的异构词,或者说变体词。
4. dissemble隐藏,掩饰。dissimulate隐藏,掩饰。
