释义与例句

v.
  1. 1.

    To engage in the humaneness (animal welfare) analogue of greenwashing.

词源

From humane + wash, following the established pattern of greenwash, pinkwash, and similar forms (which came ultimately from the figurative-extension sense of whitewash as "to slap a paintjob over the truth to hide it and to give a specious nice appearance"); this form also rhymes with brainwash, as does sustainwash.
