Displayed or showed something publicly, whether in a museum, at a fair, or simply by demonstrating behavior or qualities.
From Latin 'exhibere' (to hold out, display), combining 'ex-' (out) and 'habere' (to have or hold). The meaning has remained consistent since Roman times.
The word 'exhibit' has a fascinating legal double-life: in court, an 'exhibit' is physical evidence, while in museums it's artwork—same word, completely different stakes.
