unhidden

Unhidden is an English adjective formed from the negative prefix un- and the verb hide. It describes something that is not concealed or has been revealed, made accessible, or presented openly. In discourse about information, privacy, or media, the term is used to emphasize a lack of concealment, transparency, or exposure of facts, objects, or intentions.

Originating from the verb hide, the word unhidden follows a common English morphological pattern where un- negates a past participle or verb form. The sense “not hidden” parallels “revealed” or “exposed” and is closely related to synonyms such as disclosed, open, and transparent.

It is often used in phrases like “unhidden data,” “unhidden truth,” or “unhidden cameras” to stress that something is visible or accessible. The term is less frequent in formal writing and may be stylized for emphasis in journalism, literature, or discourse on openness.
