belie \bih-LAHY\ verb 1. to show to be false; contradict: His trembling hands belied his calm voice. 2. to misrepresent: The newspaper belied the facts. Quotes “We are home,” he said. “It is all right here.” His voice belied his words. I wanted to check if he had the medicine he needed for his heart condition, but the call dropped. -- Basharat Peer, "Waters Close Over Kashmir," The New Yorker, September 23, 2014 Origin Belie entered English prior to 1000, and is formed with the prefix be- meaning "around," and the verb lie meaning "to speak falsely."
