unveil
Show for first
To unveil is to remove a covering and reveal what's beneath—literally with statues, monuments, or portraits at dedication ceremonies, or figuratively with plans, products, or secrets: The company unveiled its new logo at the conference.
The word suggests a formal or dramatic revelation, something previously hidden now made public.
