Beclouded

/bɪˈklaʊdɪd/ adjective

Definition

Made unclear or obscured; confused or darkened as if by clouds.

Etymology

Past participle of 'becloud'; formed by adding the '-ed' suffix to the verb form.

Kelly Says

The image of a 'beclouded mind' perfectly uses the cloud metaphor because both clouds and confusion obscure what's normally visible beneath them.
