blankets

Warmth for sleepers

Blankets are soft coverings used for warmth, typically on beds or wrapped around the body.

The word extends to anything that covers like a blanket: a blanket of snow, a blanket of fog.

As an adjective, blanket means comprehensive or all-inclusive: a blanket ban, a blanket statement.

To blanket something is to cover it completely: Smoke blanketed the valley.
