concealed
This term describes something intentionally kept out of sight or secret, often carrying a connotation of stealth, caution, or illegality. While "hidden" is a general term for anything not visible, "concealed" typically implies a deliberate action to prevent discovery, frequently appearing in legal, military, or security contexts.
In legal terminology, it is most commonly paired with "weapon" to describe an arm carried in a way that is not obvious to others. This specific usage distinguishes it from items that are merely lost or naturally obscured, emphasizing the intent of the person hiding the object.
