fogging
Moisture clouding glass
Fogging is the process of becoming obscured by fog or a fog-like substance, or causing such obscuration.
Camera lenses fog in humid conditions.
Pesticide fogging fills an area with chemical mist.
In psychology, fogging is a conflict-avoidance technique where you calmly acknowledge criticism without engaging defensively: When she complained, he just kept fogging until she gave up.
