affectation

affectation (ăfĕk-tāʹshən) noun

1. A show, pretense, or display.

2. a. Behavior that is assumed rather than natural; artificiality. b. A particular habit, as of speech or dress, adopted to give a false impression.

 

[Latin affectātiō, affectātiōn-, from affectātus past participle of affectāre, to strive after. See affect2.]

Synonyms: affectation, pose, air, mannerism. These nouns refer to personal behavior assumed for effect. An affectation is an artificial habit, as of speech or dress, that is often adopted in imitation of an admired person and that can be identified by others as being unnatural: "His[Arthur Rubinstein's]playing stripped away . . . the affectations and exaggerations that characterized Chopin interpretation before his arrival" (Michael Kimmelman). Pose denotes an attitude adopted with the aim of calling favorable attention to oneself or making an impression on other people: His humility is only a pose. Air, meaning a distinctive but intangible quality, does not always imply sham: an air of authority. In the plural, however, it suggests affectation and especially a wish to seem more important than is actually the case: Don't put on airs. Mannerism denotes an idiosyncratic trait, manner, or quirk, often one that others find obtrusive and distracting: He had a mannerism of closing his eyes as he talked, as if he were deep in thought.
