COVER

What cover means

To place something over or upon another thing to protect, conceal, or protect it from view, weather, or damage.

Where the word comes from

From Old French *covrir*, derived from Latin *cooperire*, meaning "to cover completely." The Latin prefix *co-* (together) combines with *operire* (to cover), which may relate to *operire* in the sense of closing or shutting. The word entered Middle English directly from the Norman French, eventually taking its modern form.
