curtain
Stage backdrop fabric
A curtain is a piece of fabric hung to cover a window, divide a space, or conceal something behind it.
Theater curtains separate stage from audience; shower curtains keep water contained.
Figuratively, a curtain obscures: a curtain of fog, the iron curtain.
To curtain is to provide or conceal with curtains.
Curtains as slang means the end, especially death: If they find us, it's curtains.
