unshrouding
Taking wraps off
Unshrouding is the act of removing a covering or revealing what was hidden.
A shroud conceals—whether cloth over a corpse or fog over a landscape—and unshrouding exposes it to view.
The word often appears in figurative contexts: the unshrouding of long-buried secrets, unshrouding the mystery behind the company's collapse.
