Root Explanation

Uncloak → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not or opposite of) and "cloak" (from Old English *clāc*, meaning to cover or conceal). The word "uncloak" means to remove a covering or concealment, revealing what was hidden.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not covering' ('un-') something that was 'concealed' ('cloak') — that's why uncloak means to reveal.
