clouded
Obscured by haze
Clouded means obscured or made unclear, as if covered by clouds.
A clouded sky is overcast; a clouded judgment is impaired by emotion or bias.
Clouded water or glass has lost its transparency.
The word suggests something that was once clear has become difficult to see through: His memory of the event was clouded by time.
