unmantled
Stripped of cloak
Unmantled means stripped of a mantle or covering—exposed, uncloaked, laid bare.
The word appears in literary contexts describing something revealed or divested of what once concealed it: The hills stood unmantled of snow.
It can apply figuratively to emotions or truths no longer hidden: Her unmantled grief was painful to witness.
