veilings
Acts of obscuring
Veilings are acts of covering or concealing with a veil, or materials used as veils.
The word appears in discussions of religious practice, where veiling customs vary across traditions: The conference addressed veilings in different Islamic cultures.
More abstractly, veilings can be any acts of obscuring or softening: the veilings of memory.
