mistiness
Vague atmospheric blur
Mistiness is the quality of being misty—obscured by mist, haze, or moisture.
Eyes can have a mistiness from tears or emotion: There was a mistiness in her gaze as she recalled the old days.
The word extends to anything unclear or vague: the mistiness of a half-remembered dream, the mistiness of distant mountains at dawn.
