隐身

• 拼音: yǐn shēn
• 汉字拆解: 隐 = 阜 + hidden element (concealed — out of sight); 身 = pictograph of a body (person, self)

含义

To make oneself invisible; to conceal one's presence; stealth. The act of hiding from view or detection.

Used both literally (隐身衣 — invisibility cloak, in mythology and fiction) and figuratively (在社交媒体上隐身 — going offline/laying low on social media). In modern colloquial Chinese, 隐身 is frequently used to describe someone who has become hard to reach, gone quiet, or is deliberately keeping a low profile.
