What does the word "Khimare" mean? Is it to cover the head?
-
According to lexical data it means cover, but also refers to make-up and change from a condition to another. It would not refer to headdress on its own because the word does not have that wide a meaning. The clothes you wear to dress up is likely kha-me-ra by definition. I would doubt the word refers to veiling of the body but rather what you have equipped on your body, be it make-up or a gown.
It seems also the consumption of intoxicating drugs is kha-me-ra so it is likely that it speaks of the affection of changing the condition in a person, make-over. Alcohol "dresses" you in a special way.
One definition also says "come upon unexpectedly" so it might reinforce that it would mean "the impression" it gives to others when they behold you.
Be well
