Wikipedia

  1. veiling

    A veil is an article of clothing or hanging cloth that is intended to cover some part of the head or face, or an object of some significance. Veiling has a long history in European, Asian, and African societies. The practice has been prominent in different forms in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The practice of veiling is especially associated with women and sacred objects, though in some cultures, it is men, rather than women, who are expected to wear a veil. Besides its enduring religious significance, veiling continues to play a role in some modern secular contexts, such as wedding customs.

Examples of veiling in a Sentence

  1. Madeline Cohen:

    I just don't know. We have tried to get transparency about what they're doing and to be able to observe (the IV insertion), and we've been denied that. So between the actual veiling and the chemical veiling, it's very hard for us to know what's going on.
