Verse 65 says, "For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself."
At first I thought it was a translation error-because the true spelling should be "veil" but I looked up "vail" at webster.com and the definition said:
Vail-to lower often as a sign of respect or submission...could the name of the covering come from the verb, "vail"? Something I found interesting....

Its interesting in that the word "veil" is primarily used in the new testament, whereas "vail" in the new.
Its also noteworthy that the vail was used prior to marriage, separating the groom from the bride, which sin in the flesh now separates us from God/Christ, but once we become married to Christ, after the resurrection, our vail will be lifted, our sinfull flesh will removed, and we can then be in the presence of God.
