Etymology

Inherited from Middle High German: vertuschen

Cognate with Middle Low German: vörtussen

In summary

From Middle High German vertuschen, vertussen, vertuzzen (“to cover up, hide”), from tuschen (“to keep quiet, hide something”), further origin obscure. Apparently related to Middle Low German vörtussen (“to hide, cover up, suppress”). Compare also Old High German firtuskōn (“to confuse, mislead”). Influenced in meaning by false association with unrelated tuschen (“to paint, use mascara”).
