The art of being technically present while saying nothing clearly.
means A lack of clarity or sharpness, whether in the air, a memory, or someone's wording.
from From "hazy," which emerged in the 1600s describing misty or foggy conditions at sea — likely related to a dialect word for wet or foggy weather. Nobody is fully certain of its deeper roots, but sailors needed a word for when the horizon blurred into the sky, and "haze" filled that gap before drifting ashore to describe clouded thoughts and vague answers alike.
