The word "shrouded" refers to providing or making shrouds or shrouds available. It is used in terms of the dead to refer to the cloth that is used to wrap a corpse in a shroud or the clothing meant for this purpose. Shrouded also means to screen away or shut away from visibility. In its archaic sense shrouded also meant to protect or to shelter something. It can also be used in the sense of obstruct, veil, wrap, envelop, enshroud etc. The word shrouded comes from the word shroud and is derived from the Middle English word "schrud" taken from the Old English "scrud".

Examples of shrouded used in sentences are "the shrouded body of the chief was lowered into the crypt" or "the exact meaning is shrouded in mystery" or "under that blanket he was completely shrouded from sight".
