cover
Place something over
The ideas of encompassing, concealment, or protection are themes in many uses of the verb cover and the noun uses that have subsequently arisen.
When you cover a topic, you talk or write about it comprehensively.
An insurance policy that covers a particular period of time is effective throughout that period.
If the policy covers a particular risk, it insures against it.
You can also cover plants to protect them from frost, or cover a cost and assume responsibility for it.
A cover is, most basically, a lid, a blanket, or something that protects top of something else.
If you provide cover for someone, you protect them from an adverse event.
