Definition
伪装 means 'to disguise or camouflage' — it often involves changing your appearance or covering something up to hide its true nature. Unlike 假装 (just pretending, e.g., to be asleep), 伪装 is more about physical disguise or deception with a purpose; 冒充 specifically means impersonating someone else, while 充 as 'pretend' is more about passing off as something you're not.
