blindfold

Covers the eyes

A blindfold is a covering tied over the eyes to block vision, used in games, interrogations, or executions.

To blindfold someone is to cover their eyes this way: They blindfolded the hostages.

Figuratively, blindfolded means without full information or awareness: We went into the deal blindfolded.

To do something blindfolded is to do it so easily you wouldn't need to see: I could find my way there blindfolded.
