blindfolds
Strips obscuring sight
Blindfolds are cloth coverings tied over the eyes to block vision.
A single blindfold serves this purpose in games, interrogations, or sensory play.
To blindfold someone is to cover their eyes this way: They blindfolded the hostages.
Figuratively, anything that prevents clear understanding blindfolds: Ideology blindfolds us to inconvenient facts.
