What are the opposite words for expose?
When we think of the word "expose," some antonyms that come to mind are conceal, cover, hide, or protect. Expose means to reveal or make something visible, while conceal means to keep something hidden or out of sight. Cover means to place something over a surface or to protect from damage. Hide means to keep something out of sight, and protect means to provide safety or prevent harm. These antonyms provide a stark contrast to the idea of exposing, implying a need for secrecy or protection, rather than transparency and honesty.
