A blend of "costume" and "play," referring to dressing up as a fictional character from anime, games, comics, or films, often at conventions or for photo shoots. Originated in Japanese fan culture in the 1980s and now mainstream worldwide. Used as both noun and verb: you can do cosplay, wear a cosplay, or cosplay a character. Online, the word is also used figuratively to mock people who put on an identity they have not earned, as in "he is just cosplaying as an expert."
