The answer
BELIE
What belie means
To contradict or present a false impression of something, so that the actual truth appears different from what is suggested.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English *belien*, meaning "to contradict" or "to tell lies about." The *be-* prefix (used to form verbs) combines with *lie* in its sense of "to speak falsely." The root *lie* descends from Old English *leogan*, related to Old Norse *lyga* and German *lügen*, all tracing back to Proto-Germanic *leuganan*. Over time, *belie* broadened to mean "to give a false impression of" or "to contradict by appearance."
