I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">pretend to be affected by</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for feign that I've seen before include "Pretend to be affected by" , "Pretend, simulate" , "Pretend to experience" , "Counterfeit, simulate" , "Copy" .)
