A "mask" is anything that is put over one's face as a disguise: "The robber used an old ski hat with eye holes cut into it as a mask while he stole money from the bank." Or, "For Halloween, Trent wore a Spiderman mask and red clothing." A "masquerade" is a party where everyone wears a mask: "People enjoy masquerades because they like having a secret identity." Finally, as a verb, "to mask (something)" means to cover something up or to hide something: "There isn't enough perfume in the world to mask the smell of those cows!" |
