A veil is a lightweight piece of fabric, often sheer, worn over the face or head to provide coverage, modesty, or a sense of mystery, as commonly seen in weddings, religious ceremonies, or cultural traditions. In a broader context, it metaphorically represents anything that hides or obscures the truth, such as the 'corporate veil' in law that shields shareholders from personal liability, making it a staple in both everyday life and professional jargon.
