The answer
CLOAK
What cloak means
A long, sleeveless outer garment worn over other clothes, or to hide or conceal something.
Where the word comes from
From Old French cloque, meaning a bell or cloak, possibly from Late Latin clocca, a bell. The word may derive from an imitative origin, as the bell's sound resembled its name. The garment sense developed because early cloaks had a bell-like, flowing shape. The figurative meaning "to hide or conceal" emerged later, as a cloak literally covers what lies beneath.
