Số nhiều: mistsQuá khứ: mistedPhân từ 2: mistedV-ing: misting

This word evokes a sense of soft, diffused light and muted colors, often carrying a mood of mystery, serenity, or melancholy. It suggests a veil that partially obscures reality rather than a complete blackout, creating a ghostly or ethereal atmosphere in descriptive writing. When used in relation to the human body, specifically the eyes, it shifts from a weather phenomenon to a physiological response to emotion. In this context, it represents the precise moment before a tear falls, signaling a transition from internal sadness to visible grief.

Uncountable when referring to the general weather phenomenon (The mist is heavy). Countable when referring to a specific, localized patch of vapor (A light mist settled over the pond).
