This term can also describe other items with a similar design, like certain types of hoods or masks.
The visored helmet, for example, is a type of headgear that offers protection to the wearer's head and face while featuring a visor that can be raised or lowered as needed. This visor acts as a shield against direct sunlight, wind, or projectile objects. Similarly, visored caps or hats are head coverings with a projecting brim that shades the eyes, offering protection from the sun's glare.
In a broader sense, visored can also be used metaphorically to describe something that obscures or conceals, such as when referring to a person's visored thoughts or a visored veil hiding the truth. In these contexts, the term implies a figurative shield or barrier that prevents complete clarity or understanding.
