Wayne’s Word – Masquerade

It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.

Today’s word is MASQUERADE.

Masquerade is a word wrapped in intrigue. At its simplest, it means to pretend to be someone or something else, often with a mask, a costume, or a false impression.

Last night was our hospital masquerade ball, a night of celebration for a hard year of work and a chance to let your hair down with your work colleagues. We wore our best dress and each had to wear a mask, fun indeed and my first time to attend such an event.
