An eclipse involves the blocking of light, typically from a celestial body, which creates a shadow. In a solar eclipse, the Moon casts a shadow on the Earth, while in a lunar eclipse, the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon. So, while "eclipse" itself doesn't mean "shadow," it is closely related to the phenomenon of shadows being cast during these events.
