Morphology

shroudlike = shroud (transparent) = shroud + like

Formed from the noun 'shroud' plus the productive adjectival suffix '-like', directly meaning 'resembling a shroud'.

Etymology

The word shroudlike comes from shroud, a cloth used to wrap and cover a dead body, and the part -like, which means 'similar to'. Think of that cloth hiding shape and detail—so shroudlike describes something that covers, hides, or makes things look mysterious, like fog or dust over a city.
