Definition
隐蔽 (yǐnbì) emphasizes being hidden from view or detection, often describing a location or action that is deliberately kept secret. Unlike 隐藏 (yǐncáng), which focuses on the act of hiding something, 隐蔽 is more about the state of being concealed or the quality of being covert. It differs from 隐瞒 (yǐnmán), which specifically refers to hiding information or truth.
