蔽 (bì) — to cover; to shelter; to conceal; (bound form) used in compounds meaning 'cover, shelter, conceal'

Definition

蔽 (bì) is a bound morpheme meaning 'to cover, hide, or conceal' — almost never used alone, but it forms many common verbs (隐蔽, 遮蔽, 蒙蔽). It is more literary than the everyday 盖 gài or 藏 cáng.
