shrouding
Wrapping in mystery
Shrouding is the act of covering, concealing, or wrapping something as if in a shroud—the cloth used to wrap a corpse for burial.
The word usually appears in figurative contexts: Fog was shrouding the valley, Mystery shrouding the investigation.
Shrouding suggests something hidden from view or understanding, often with an air of darkness or secrecy.
