bared
Revealed without cover
Bared is the past tense of bare, meaning to uncover or expose something previously hidden or covered.
You bare your teeth in a snarl, bare your soul in confession, bare your arms by rolling up sleeves: She bared her shoulder to show the scar.
The word implies deliberate revelation—making visible what was concealed.
