Which fur coat looks fake?

Seeing Rossano Brazzi play an aristocratic White Russian, standing in the fakest snow that wartime supplies could buy, may be the most peculiar twist of all in the curious story of how Ayn Rand's autobiographical first novel came to the screen.

1988 November 25, Caryn James, “Ayn Rand Adaptation By Italian”, in The New York Times:

en-adj

fake (comparative faker or more fake, superlative fakest or most fake)

faker (comparative)
more fake (comparative)
fakest (superlative)
most fake (superlative)

→ Russian: фейк (fejk)

→ Turkish: feyk

→ Ukrainian: фейк (fejk)

The origin is not known with certainty, although first attested in 1775 C.E. in British criminals' slang. It is probably from feak, feague (“to give a better appearance through artificial means, spruce up, embellish”), itself from German Low German fegen, from Middle Low German vēgen, from Old Saxon fegōn, from Proto-West Germanic *fegōn (“to clean up, polish”).
Akin to Dutch veeg (“a swipe”), Dutch vegen (“to sweep, wipe”); German fegen (“to sweep, to polish”). Compare also Old English fācn (“deceit, fraud”). Perhaps related also to Old Norse fjúka (“to fade, vanquish, disappear”), Old Norse feikn (“strange, scary, unnatural”).

I suspect this passport is a fake.

Among other interesting and weighty opinions, which were in general agreement with our contentions, was one by Mr. H. A. Staddon of Goodmayes, a gentleman who had made a particular hobby of fakes in photography. His report is too long and too technical for inclusion, but, under the various headings of composition, dress, development, density, lighting, poise, texture, plate, atmosphere, focus, halation, he goes very completely into the evidence, coming to the final conclusion that when tried by all these tests the chances are not less than 80 per cent. in favour of authenticity.

1922, Arthur Conan Doyle, The Coming of the Fairies:

Something which is not genuine, or is presented fraudulently.

(sports) A move meant to deceive an opposing player, used for gaining advantage for example when dribbling an opponent.

"She constantly faked being sick, and perhaps mistakenly, I indulged her more than I should have, pretending I couldn't tell. But I AM a teacher myself, so it's kind of hard to just let this slide."

2013, Jocelyn Samara D., Rain, volume 1, →ISBN, page 193:

(transitive) To make a false display of, to affect, to feign, to simulate.

(archaic) To cheat; to swindle; to steal; to rob.

He had a hundred similar tricks, but I never knew him fake a horse, or sell one as sound if it was not.

1944, George Henderson, The Farming Ladder:

(archaic) To modify fraudulently, so as to make an object appear better or other than it really is

Occasionally the opportunity arises to stand up and "fake" a jazz standard.

In the face of this print music culture, 'faking' was the ability—at once respected and disrespected—to improvise a song (or a part in an arrangement) without reading the notation.

Denning, cited in 2020, Matt Brennan, Kick It: A Social History of the Drum Kit (page 110)

(music, transitive, intransitive) To improvise, in jazz.
