unshrouded
Lacking any covering
Unshrouded means not covered or concealed by a shroud—exposed, revealed, visible.
The word appears most often in figurative contexts: the unshrouded truth, unshrouded ambition.
In technical use, unshrouded describes machinery or components without protective covering: an unshrouded fan blade, unshrouded turbine.
