mist
Suspended water droplets
Mist is a thin fog—water vapor suspended in air that reduces visibility without obscuring it entirely.
Morning mist hung over the valley.
Mist also describes any fine spray or haze: a mist of perfume, the mist from a waterfall.
Eyes mist over with tears or emotion.
To mist plants is to spray them lightly.
Something lost in the mists of time is obscured by the distant past.
