This week's word is

Dissemble

[dəˈsemb(ə)l]

verb

Conceal one's true motives, feelings, or beliefs: "An honest, sincere person with no need to dissemble."

Disguise or conceal (a feeling or intention): "She smiled, dissembling her true emotion."

--Some sources say dissemble is an obsolete word, however I've seen it and used it myself so I'm not so sure about that. What about you?

I see it pretty frequently, myself. It's a terrific word! Rather poetic, in a way.
