Definition
迷雾 literally means 'dense fog' (thick fog that reduces visibility). In advanced Chinese, it is often used metaphorically to describe a confusing or mystifying situation where the truth is hard to see — similar to 'fog' in English but more common in figurative contexts like 政治迷雾 ('political fog') or 迷雾重重 ('shrouded in mystery').
