deliberately visible
Etymology
'intentionally-exposed' originates from the combination of 'intentionally' and 'exposed', where 'intentionally' comes from Latin 'intentio' meaning 'a stretching out' and 'exposed' from Latin 'exponere' meaning 'to put out'.
'intentionally' changed from the Latin word 'intentio' and 'exposed' from 'exponere', eventually forming the modern English compound adjective 'intentionally-exposed'.
Initially, 'intentionally' meant 'with intention' and 'exposed' meant 'laid open', and together they evolved to mean 'deliberately made visible'.
