unrevealable
Must stay hidden
Unrevealable describes something that cannot or must not be disclosed.
The word implies either practical impossibility or obligation to secrecy: The source's identity remains unrevealable, Some truths are unrevealable—not because we don't know them, but because speaking them would cause harm.
Less common than its near-synonym "unrevealed," unrevealable emphasizes the impossibility rather than the current state.
