What does UNMASK mean in Scrabble?
verb
To take a mask off someone, or to reveal the true character or identity of a person or a hidden truth.
The word starts from a literal act, lifting a disguise from a face, and has widened to mean any exposure of what was kept out of sight. Detective stories lean on it heavily, since the final scene is so often the moment a culprit is unmasked. It also works for things rather than people, as when a study unmasks a flaw in a method or a hidden motive behind a policy.
