隐藏 (yǐn cáng) — to hide; to conceal (physically, e.g., objects or people); to conceal; to keep secret (information, emotions, intentions)
Definition
隐藏 covers both physical hiding (hiding keys in a drawer) and figurative concealment (hiding feelings, facts, losses). Compared with 藏, it is more abstract; vs 掩饰, it is neutral rather than implying deliberate cover-up of wrongdoing.
