Root Explanation

The word 'masquerade' is derived from the French 'mascarade' (meaning a masked ball or disguise), which itself comes from 'masquer' (meaning to mask or disguise). The suffix '-ade' indicates an action or process. Thus, 'masquerade' refers to the act of disguising oneself, often in a festive or playful manner.

Memory Tip

Imagine a festive event where people are 'disguising' themselves ('masquer') — that's what a masquerade is all about.
