Surface Forms

unrevealed positive

Morphology

unrevealed = revealed (transparent) = un + reveal + ed

Formed by adding the productive negating prefix 'un-' to the participial adjective 'revealed', so the negative meaning is directly inferable.

Etymology

Unrevealed starts with un- meaning 'not' and comes from reveal, which used to mean 'take off a veil' and show something. So if something is unrevealed, it is still 'under a veil' and kept secret or not made known.
