Origin:
The word "shroud" has its origins in the Proto-Indo-European root "*sker-," which means "to cover." This root is also found in other words related to covering, such as "screen" and "skin."
In Old English, the word "scrūd" was used to refer to a variety of garments, including tunics, cloaks, and veils. Over time, the meaning of the word narrowed to refer specifically to long, loose outer garments worn for warmth or modesty.
The figurative meaning of "shroud," as something that conceals or obscures, developed later. This meaning is often used in reference to death or secrecy, as in the phrase "shrouded in mystery."
