Original entry ↗A long outer garment worn over the shoulders covering the back; a cape, often with a hood. · A blanket-like covering, often metaphorical. · That which conceals; a disguise or pretext. · A text replacement for an IRC user's hostname or IP address, making the user less identifiable.
To cover as with or like a cloak. · To cover up, hide or conceal. · To render or become invisible via futuristic technology.
From Middle English cloke, from Old Northern French cloque (“travelling cloak”), from Medieval Latin clocca (“travelers' cape, literally “a bell”, so called from the garment’s bell-like shape”), of Celtic origin, from Proto-Celtic *klokkos, ultimately imitative. Doublet of cloche and clock.
