Definition
遮盖 means 'to cover' — physically (e.g., with a cloth) or metaphorically (to cover up a mistake). It is more general than 覆盖 (fù gài), which emphasizes covering a surface completely (like snow covering the ground), and more concrete than 隐瞒 (yǐn mán), which is only about hiding the truth.
