Mandarin comparison · separate source entries

CC-CEDICT, the Mandarin–English dictionary, lists the same written form:

矯飾 jiǎo shì CC-CEDICT · Mandarinto put on airs; to pretend sth is better than it is; affectation

A separate source entry, shown for comparison. The same characters can carry different senses in Mandarin and in Cantonese; zimai does not align these senses.

CC-Canto includes this pinyin reference: jiao3 shi4. It does not establish a Mandarin word with the same meaning.
