乔装
qiáo zhuāng · HSK 7
to disguise oneself
🥸 乔装 = 乔 (false/sham) + 装 (to dress up) = dress up falsely to disguise yourself
装 also means to pretend or to install, so 乔装 is literally putting on a sham outfit. Sound hook: qiáo sounds like chow, zhuāng like jwong — chow-jwong, the chump in a costume.
装 — clothes 衣 + strong 壮 (phonetic)
装 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The bottom 衣 ('clothes') gives the meaning, since the original sense was packing or dressing—putting clothes or goods into a bundle. The top 壮 supplies the sound. Meanings extended from 'to dress/attire' to 'to load, install, pretend'.
