enshroud
Cover in darkness
To enshroud is to cover or envelop completely, as if wrapping in a shroud—the cloth used to wrap a corpse for burial.
The word usually appears in figurative contexts: Fog enshrouded the valley, Mystery enshrouds the circumstances of his death.
It suggests something hidden, obscured, or cloaked in darkness or secrecy.
