A thin mist or cloud of smoke that makes it hard to see clearly, or to make someone feel confused and disoriented.
Origin uncertain; possibly from Scandinavian languages or related to 'hazy.' Could derive from Middle Dutch or relate to an old word meaning 'gray' or 'misty.'
The word 'haze' describes both a weather phenomenon (atmospheric particles blocking vision) and a mental state (confusion blocking clear thinking)—and strangely, both actually work the same way: particles or confusion clouding what you're trying to see.
