Definition
Plural of affectation; instances of artificial or pretended feelings, behaviors, or manners.
Etymology
From 'affectation' (Latin 'affectatio'—pretense, striving) + '-s' (plural). The root traces through 'affectare' (to aim at, pretend) from 'afficere' (to influence).
Kelly Says
Everyone has their little affectations—that fake laugh, the exaggerated accent, the way they pretend to be interested. The word captures those tiny performances we all put on for others!
