  The extragalactic background light records the history of infrared, optical
and ultraviolet light radiation including re-radiation since the epoch of
reionization. While challenging to measure directly, it can be measured
indirectly via its impact on observed spectra of extragalactic gamma-ray
emitters. VERITAS, a ground-based imaging atmospheric-Cherenkov telescope array
sensitive to gamma rays above 100 GeV, has accrued 10 years of observations of
hard-spectrum blazars. The energy and redshift range covered enables the
measurement of the EBL in the range 0.56-56~$\mu$m, accessing the poorly
constrained cosmic infrared background region. New constraints on the EBL
resulting from the joint analysis using 16 spectra from 14 VERITAS-observed
blazars will be presented. The method is independent of assumptions about the
shape of the EBL spectrum, and includes a full treatment of systematic and
statistical uncertainties. The measured spectrum is in good agreement with
lower limits from galaxy counts, limiting the potential contribution from a
diffuse component.
