society of descendants from the Saxon
conquererS.
: ::
In fact. the word is an impostor and
was impostor from the day of it's
birth. Not satisfied with trying to hide
its German parentage by changing the
simple German 'muff' to "moufie,'' it
boldly bedecked itself with French
sufflx and Latin prefix, and in this
fix gets recognition in France. IN
other words camoufiage is itself a
camoufage-that is. pretense. an inn
posture.
Let US now consider the prefix. suifix
and root of the word in detail. The
prefix "ca'' is used in the place of con"
because ca-mouiiage is easier to say
than con-moufiage. just we say COL
lection instead of con-iection.

French it has the sense of "a kind Of
The word then would have the signifi-
cance of "a kind OF muffiing up"
The French ''moulie." meaning a nit
ten comes from the German word
"muff," which was even in use among
the Teutonic Franks when they invaded
Gaul, the present France. 1t was no
fault of the word that il was trans
mogrified into moutie and camoufiage
The people of those days were rather
reckless about their spelling and few
letters more or less in a word did not
make any difference to them In other
words. they spelled exclusively "by ear"
and each man by his particular auditory
Impressions.
The original root ''muff," as well as
the words derived from it, convey the
sense of covering up, or protecting"
But muff is a protection against the
cold, while a camoufiage is a protection
against discovery, hence a deception.
Now. that this fascinating word has
been thoroughly analyzed, 1t will prob
ably have a better standing in America
and the hope may be entertained that.
since the light of certainty has pene-
trated our befoggedness regarding 1t,
the people will use it freely without
gloves. The word is capable of being
used in many ways, both proper and
pertinent and impertinent.
