Learners may think *backcloth* always means a real piece of cloth. In formal writing it is often used figuratively to mean the general situation in the background; in this case, translating it as *background* or *backdrop* is usually correct. Also, it is not used for small, personal situations like a single family argument; it is more common for large social or historical contexts.
المعنى
