Wiktionary examples

These source excerpts show how camoufler appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.

  1. Nous vivons depuis mai 1958 sur la plus grande duperie de l’histoire et depuis octobre 1962 sur la plus grande imposture. La cause du mal c’est la volonté tenace, bien que supérieurement camouflée, du Général de Gaulle. Il faut donc dénoncer à la masse, sans subterfuges et sans faux-fuyants, le responsable du mal dont meurent la République et la Liberté.
  2. Dans ce même bosquet, il y a aussi des canons de 75, mais qui n’ont pas l’air méchant ; à demi cachés sous de frais branchages, bien « camouflés », bien peinturlurés, tout zébrés de vert, de brun ou d’ocre, il ressemblent plutôt, comme pelage, à de gros lézards qui sommeilleraient dans les broussailles.
