Word origin

The word 'veiling' derives from the verb 'veil' which originated in Middle English from the Old French 'veile', meaning a cover for the face. In the past, veiling was primarily associated with women's clothing, particularly in religious or ceremonial contexts. Over time, the term has evolved to encompass a broader range of meanings related to covering or concealing.
