concealings
Acts of masking
Concealings is the plural of concealing, the gerund form of conceal.
It refers to multiple acts or instances of hiding something from view or keeping something secret.
The word appears most often in legal or formal contexts where several separate acts of concealment must be enumerated: The indictment listed multiple concealings of evidence over a three-year period.
In everyday speech, people typically use the singular or rephrase entirely.
