Answer

FEIGN

This word means to pretend to be affected by a feeling, state, or injury. It comes from the Old French word 'feindre,' meaning to pretend or shirk, which itself derives from Latin 'fingere,' meaning to shape or contrive. The word is commonly used in phrases like 'to pretend ignorance' or 'to pretend illness.'
