'''Feint''', a French term that entered English via the discipline of [[swordsmanship]] and [[fencing]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dictionary.com/browse/feint|title=Definition of feint {{!}} Dictionary.com|website=www.dictionary.com|language=en|access-date=2019-08-17}}</ref> is a maneuver designed to distract or mislead. A feint is achieved by giving the impression that a certain maneuver will take place, while in fact another, or even none, will. In military tactics and many types of [[combat]], there are two types of feints: '''feint attacks''' and '''feint retreats'''.
