Etymology
Unsheathed comes from the prefix un- meaning 'not' or 'remove' and the verb sheathe meaning 'to put in a cover', with sheath meaning 'protective cover for a blade'. So, to unsheathe is to take something out of its cover, like pulling a sword from its sheath, which is why unsheathed means 'exposed' or uncovered.
