A dull traffic path and a cloudy chemical mark can look similar from a distance. The first may reflect abrasive wear; the second could be acid etching or cleaner damage on a sensitive stone.
A cloudy patch after a spill or harsh cleaner can be etching, especially on marble and limestone. An older surface may also show fine wear where it is walked on most often.
Cloudy stone flooring: choosing the next step
Honing changes the stone surface, whereas cleaning targets contamination. For floors crossing multiple rooms, a small spot treatment can sometimes look different from the surrounding finish.
A local polished patch may stand out against an otherwise honed floor. Before proposing spot polishing, the finish of adjacent rooms and the depth of the mark need to be considered together.

Will a deep clean remove dull marks on marble?
