Etymology
The term 'camouflage' originates from the French word 'camoufler', which means to disguise or conceal. The usage of camouflage dates back to the early 20th century, particularly during World War I, when military forces began adopting techniques to blend in with natural surroundings to protect themselves from enemy detection. The term evolved into various applications, leading to the creation of specialized roles for individuals skilled at employing these techniques. 'Camouflager' thus refers specifically to those who apply camouflage principles in a professional or tactical context.
