Hidden \Hid"den\, p. p. & a.
from {Hide}. Concealed; put out of view; secret; not known;
mysterious.

fifths or octaves, not sounded, but suggested or implied
in the parallel motion of two parts towards a fifth or an
octave.

Syn: {Hidden}, {Secret}, {Covert}.

Usage: Hidden may denote either known to on one; as, a hidden
disease; or intentionally concealed; as, a hidden
purpose of revenge. Secret denotes that the thing is
known only to the party or parties concerned; as, a

not open or avowed; as, a covert plan; but is often
