How to use "Unmask" in context?
Unmasking is revealing the true identity of someone who has hidden their identity behind a pseudonym. The term can refer to revealing the true identity of someone who is known publically as something other than their actual identity, or revealing the true identity of someone who has been known to use a pseudonym.
Unmasking is often done as part of investigations into crimes or political scandals. For example, in the United States, the FBI routinely unmasks anonymous tipsters who provide information that leads to the identification of criminal suspects.
