misty
Veiled by droplets
Misty describes something covered with or obscured by mist—a light fog or fine spray: a misty morning, misty mountains.
The word extends to anything hazy or indistinct: misty memories, misty recollections of childhood.
Eyes that are misty are slightly tearful, usually from emotion: She got a little misty during the wedding vows. (Capitalized Misty is a given name.)
