Origin:
The Latin verb "cooperire" is a compound of "com-," meaning "with" or "together," and "operire," meaning "to cover." The term "covert" initially referred to something that was covered or protected. Over time, it came to be used in a broader sense to describe anything that is hidden or concealed.
In the 17th century, the word "covert" began to be used in a legal context to refer to a wife who is under the protection and authority of her husband. This usage stemmed from the idea that the husband was responsible for covering or protecting his wife.
