What does UNVEIL mean in Scrabble?
verb
To take a covering off something, especially in public, or to show something to the world for the first time.
The literal use belongs to ceremonies: a statue, plaque or portrait is hidden under cloth until a guest pulls the cord and unveils it. Companies borrowed the word for launches, so a new phone or car is unveiled at an event rather than simply released. It can also mean to reveal a secret or plan, and in older writing it describes a woman lifting a veil from her face.
How UNVEIL is used
Both ceremonial and figurative; very common in news about product launches and public art.
- The mayor will unveil the memorial on Sunday.

- He waited until dinner to unveil his plan.
- The museum plans to unveil a restored portrait next week.
