Like some threats and brides (6)
I believe the answer is:
veiled
'like some threats and brides' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for veiled that I've seen before include "Concealed by semi-transparent cloth?" , "Concealed like bride's face?" , "Partially concealed as with gauzy stuff" , "Partly concealed as with headdress" , "Covered, hidden" .)
