camouflaged
Hidden by pattern
Camouflaged means disguised or concealed by blending into surroundings.
Animals have camouflaged coloring that matches their habitat.
Soldiers wear camouflaged uniforms to avoid detection.
The word extends to any deliberate concealment: camouflaged debts, camouflaged intentions.
Something camouflaged doesn't disappear—it becomes harder to distinguish from its background.
