A screen in the corner of a room shields a person changing clothes from others’ eyes.
A screen in your windows protects your house from the insects outside.
In basketball, a screen blocks a defender so that the person with the ball can get open to score.

But the word “screen” implies a barrier, a block. A screen protects, it shields, it impedes. A screen hides and obscures.
What’s on the other side of your screen?
