I need help with this word from native English speakers.

When would you use "unrevealed", instead of 'hidden' or similar?

Thank you!

Use Google for more information, it's much better than I am.

"Unrevealed" (undisclosed) would mean that someone could reveal it but has chosen not to. To me if something is hidden, it does not necessarily imply any person involved.

If you were to provide specific CONTEXTS it would be easier to answer.

slight to major differences in meaning Dec 23, 2010

Unrevealed vs. hidden: slight difference. Hidden implies intention, so when information/text is hidden, the implication is that the author does not want the reader to see it. Unrevealed does not have that implication. It means some other information is just not there or available to the reader. The meanings, both explicit and implied for the third word, similar, are very different: it means the text is unlike what it is being compared to, but the text is completely available to the reader.

By 'similar' I actually meant words similar in meaning to 'unrevealed' & 'hidden'.

Thank you for your explanation, it is very clear.

Happy holidays to all!

I didn't provide any context because I wanted someone to come up with some

Your explanation is the way I feel these words as well, but I've never used this word myself, and was uncertain as to its usage, and the frequency of it..

Thank you!

Sorry not to have answered sooner.

Unfortunately, since this is not my language pair, I am not allowed to ask questions in EN>EN KudoZ. My only option are the nice people here.

... as far as I know, you may declare "English to English" a "language pair of interest" (as opposed to working pairs) in your profile, which would enable you to post English monolingual questions.

Best regards,
Steffen
