visor
word
Definition
A visor is a part of a hat, helmet, or vehicle meant to shade or protect your eyes from the sun, light, or other things in front of you.
Usage & Nuances
Common with hats ('a baseball cap's visor'), helmets (especially sports and safety), and vehicles (the 'sun visor' in cars). Not the same as 'visor' in tech contexts (like digital displays), which is rare. 'Visor' usually refers to protection or shade for the face/eyes.
