While a "Stealth Bomber" is a type of aircraft, the word "stealth" can be used in other contexts. As a noun, "stealth" refers to a secretive way of moving to prevent what/who is moving from being seen. "Stealth" as an adjective describes using something that is secretive. Ex: The leopard used stealth to catch its prey. Ex: The solider moved in a stealth way so he would not be caught.
