Concealing something by making it look like the surroundings. This includes, but is not limited to, animals with colors identical to their environment, animals changing colors after the surroundings (e.g. chameleons), painting/dressing soldiers/war machines in green in forest environments or yellow in desert environments, using a black-box painting for spaceships in order to absorb any kind of radiation emitted by enemy sensors+give off no radiation, using stealth forms for combat aircraft (especially bombers), dressing in a fiber-optics cloak that directs photons through it like whatever is inside didn't exist, behaving like the other people in the group you are in so that you don't get remarked, hiding a meaning in an apparently casual (con)text and so on.
Imitating the environment without the intent of stealth is NOT camouflaging (such as dressing up in clothes that fit the colors of autumn).

Sometimes it means to disguise or hide something, as in "The user made sure he'd get no relevant answers to his question by camouflaging it in the mathematics section."
