Morphology

unveiled = unveil (transparent) = un + veil + ed

The past-participle/adjectival '-ed' is regularly added to the verb 'unveil' to mean 'revealed', so the formation is straightforward.

Etymology

Unveiled starts with the part un- meaning 'not' and the word veil meaning 'cover', so it literally means 'not covered'. Think of lifting a cloth off a statue to show it for the first time; that's why unveiled means 'made known' or 'revealed'.
