Etymology of EXPOSED

The word "exposed" comes from the Latin word "exponere", which is a combination of the prefix "ex-" meaning "out" and "ponere" meaning "to place".

Over time, it acquired the meaning of "to unveil, reveal, or make something visible or known". The sense of being "exposed" can imply vulnerability, being subject to danger or risk, or having one's secrets or flaws brought to light.
