Root Explanation
Unveiled → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not or opposite of) and "veiled" (from Latin "velare", meaning to cover or conceal). The word "unveiled" means not covered or concealed, revealing something that was previously hidden.
Memory Tip
Think of something that is 'not covered' ('un-') and was 'concealed' ('veiled') — that's why unveiled means to reveal.
