Haze(hayz)

Quick Detail: Haze is a light mist or veil in the air that softens detail and blurs distant shapes.

Definition: Haze hangs in the air like a thin filter, dulling sharp contrast and muting color. It may come from fog, smoke, dust, or heat, yet the effect is the same: distance grows uncertain. The world seen through haze feels softened, as though it resists being fully known. Light can appear diffused or strangely dim within it, shifting the mood of a place. The word captures an atmosphere that obscures without fully concealing what lies beyond.
