masked
Behind a covering
Masked means covered or concealed, often by a mask: masked robbers, a masked ball.
The concealment can be figurative—masked emotions are hidden, masked flavors are overpowered by others.
In medicine, masked symptoms are obscured by other conditions.
During disease outbreaks, masked becomes shorthand for wearing a protective face covering: The store requires customers to be masked.
