guised
In false appearance
Guised means dressed or presented in a particular form or disguise: guised as a merchant, he slipped past the guards.
The word appears almost exclusively in compounds—disguised, unguised—making standalone guised rare and somewhat literary.
It suggests deliberate concealment or assumed appearance rather than natural presentation.
