把遮住的掀開
這一族就是核心畫面的字面版:手上真的有東西被移開,眼睛真的看見了新的東西。
reveal by uncovering · verb · C2
To let something be seen by taking away the thing that covered it.
揭開
A picture to hold: something has been shut in — a lid down, a cloth over it, a door closed. To disclose is to un-close it, so what was hidden inside is now in the open where others can see it.
The word is dis- ('un-, reverse') plus Latin claudere, 'to close' — literally 'to un-close'. That is exactly the modern picture: something shut is opened, and what was inside comes into view.
這個字拆開來就是 dis-(反過來、解除)+ 拉丁文 claudere(關閉)——字面上就是「反關閉」、把關起來的打開。這正好就是現代的核心畫面:本來闔著的被掀開,裡面的東西露出來。順帶一提,close、closet、include、conclude 都是 claudere 這一家的親戚,都跟「關」有關。
Wiktionary(disclose 詞源:Middle English disclosen ← Old French desclore ← Vulgar Latin disclaudere ← Latin dis- + claudere「關閉」)
