blanketing
Spreading over completely
Blanketing is covering something completely, as a blanket covers a bed.
Snow blankets a landscape; fog blankets a valley.
The word extends to overwhelming coverage: The campaign blanketed the airwaves with ads.
In equestrian contexts, blanketing means putting a protective cover on a horse.
