cover term

A cover term is a word (or phrase) that provides a more general, legal, or accurate overarching term for a set of dissimilar terms that share a common property. Synonym: category.

"Cover term" may sound like "comfort term" when enunciated poorly or quickly, which might suggest the cover term is being used to make the original word (or phrase) more palatable or less anxiety producing to the audience. While this may occur, it is never the primary objective of using a cover term.

"Shelter" is the cover term for rent, mortgage payments, housing, and so forth.

The congressman told ClusterFox that he and the Senator have reviewed a whistleblower letter alleging “a criminal scheme involving the then-Vice President and a foreign national”, and found the source “credible.” However, in a remarkably comertose moment, he acknowledged that his understanding of the situation derived from Faux News and Hannity, so he wasn't actually delivering any news on air, merely regurgitating the talking points the network had already constructed for the occasion.
