veil
A thin piece of cloth worn over the face, made of material sufficiently thin that the wearer would be able to see through it; to hide one's face from others, either to keep from being recognized or for modesty or reverence
ExamplesGenesis 24:65 She said to the servant, “Who is that man walking in the field to meet us?” And the servant said, “He is my master.” Then she took her veil and covered herself.
Genesis 38:14 So she removed her widow’s garments and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gateway of Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah had grown up, and she had not been given to him as a wife.
