FEIGN
What feign means
To pretend or act as though something is true when you know it is not, especially to deceive someone.
Where the word comes from
From Old French "feindre," meaning to pretend or make a false show, derived from Latin "fingere," which meant to shape, form, or fashion. The Romans used "fingere" both literally for molding material and figuratively for inventing stories or pretending. The sense shifted over time from "to fashion" to "to fabricate" to "to pretend."
