Hides veils (7)
I believe the answer is:
shrouds
This clue might be a double definition.
'hides' is the first definition.
('shroud' can be a synonym of 'hide')
'veils' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shrouds that I've seen before include "Winding-sheets" , "Burial garments" , "Wrappers for corpses" .)
