Root Explanation
Uncloaked → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "cloak" (from Old English *clāca*, meaning to cover or conceal) and "-ed" (a suffix indicating past tense or completed action). The word "uncloaked" means to have removed the covering or concealment, revealing what was hidden.
Memory Tip
Think of 'not covering' ('un-') something that was 'concealed' ('cloak') — that's why uncloaked means to reveal.
