concealed
Out of sight
Concealed means hidden from view or kept secret.
A concealed weapon is carried out of sight.
Concealed evidence has been deliberately suppressed.
The word implies intentional hiding rather than accidental obscurity: She barely concealed her disappointment.
What's concealed could be revealed—the hiddenness is imposed, not inherent.
