Definition:
A shroud is a layer placed over something to obscure it from sight, whether cloth, mist, or darkness. The word suggests quiet separation, as though what lies beneath is meant to remain unseen. Shrouds can create a sense of mystery, softening edges and blurring familiar shapes. They invite questions while offering no clear answers. The effect is both protective and secretive.
