'uncloaked' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' or 'opposite of' and the word 'cloak' from Old French 'cloque', meaning 'bell' or 'covering'.

'cloque' transformed into the Middle English word 'cloke', and eventually became the modern English word 'cloak'.

Initially, 'cloak' meant 'a covering garment', but over time, 'uncloaked' evolved to mean 'revealed or exposed'.
