uncloaks
Brings to light
Uncloaks means to remove a cloak from, or more commonly, to reveal or expose something hidden: The investigation uncloaked a network of corruption.
The word carries a sense of dramatic revelation—secrets, identities, or truths being brought to light.
In science fiction and gaming, uncloaking often refers to making a hidden spacecraft or character visible again.
