Answer

FEIGN

This word means to pretend to be affected by a feeling, state, or injury. It comes from the Old French 'feindre,' which itself derives from the Latin 'fingere,' meaning to shape or invent. The word is commonly used when describing someone who is faking illness to avoid responsibilities or pretending emotions they do not actually feel.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains the 'EI' vowel combination, which can be tricky. When you have confirmed some letters but the word is not clicking, consider less common vowel pairings like EI, IE, or OU that might be hiding in the middle of the word.
