vertuschen

From Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value), vertussen, vertuzzen (“to cover up, hide”), of obscure origin, but apparently related to Middle Low German vörtussen (“to hide, cover up, suppress”). Influenced in meaning by false association with unrelated tuschen (“to paint, use mascara”).
