An eclipse is a shadow. The word "eclipse" by itself has many uses, but the basic meaning is "in the shadow of", or "blocks the view of". A movie actor can be "eclipsed" by another actor who becomes better paid or more famous, for example.
So in astronomy, an eclipse is a shadow. In a solar eclipse, the shadow of the Moon hits the Earth; the Moon blocks the Sun's light from reaching this spot on the Earth.
In a lunar eclipse, it is the Earth that's doing the eclipsing, blocking the Sun's light, as the Moon moves into the shadow of the Earth.
