unconcealment singular

Morphology

unconcealment = unconceal (transparent) = un + conceal + ment

The suffix '-ment' transparently forms a noun indicating the action or result of the verb 'unconceal'.

Etymology

The word unconcealment is built from un- meaning 'not', conceal meaning 'to hide', and the ending -ment that turns a verb into a noun. So unconcealment is like taking the cover off a box: it is the act or state of making something that was hidden come into view.
