To reveal something that was hidden or secret; to remove a cover from something.
From Old English 'un-' meaning 'reverse' plus 'cover,' derived from Old French 'covrir.' The word has meant 'to remove a cover or reveal' since medieval times.
Uncovered is a detective's favorite word—it suggests the satisfaction of solving a mystery or exposing a truth that someone wanted to keep hidden.
