cobweb
Neglected corner feature
A cobweb is a spider's web, especially an old or dusty one found in neglected corners: She brushed the cobwebs from the attic rafters.
Figuratively, cobwebs suggest mental dullness or confusion from disuse: A morning walk helps clear the cobwebs.
Something cobwebby is thin, delicate, or gauzy.
