Etymology

The term 'shroud' originates from the Old English word 'scrลซd', meaning 'a cloth' or 'covering'. Historically, it has been associated with burial garments, which are used to wrap the dead. This association extends to the figurative sense of covering or concealing in a broader context. The transition from a literal to a metaphorical sense occurred as the word evolved through Middle English and into Modern English. Over time, 'shrouding' became entrenched in both everyday language and literary usage, symbolizing not only physical concealment but also the obscuring of truths or emotions.
