Kabusu means to cover or hide something completely. It implies concealing or obscuring something from view or knowledge.
Imagine wearing a large hat that completely covers your face. When you kabusu, you are hiding yourself or an object so well that it becomes impossible to see what's underneath.
Kakusu (隠す): Kakusu means to hide or conceal, but unlike kabusu, it doesn't necessarily imply complete coverage. It can be used when partially hiding something.
Sōfu (掩護): Sōfu refers to providing cover or protection for someone or something. It implies shielding and safeguarding.
Himotsu (秘密): Himotsu means secret. While not directly related to covering, it shares the concept of keeping information hidden from others.
