What is the difference between ‘discover’ and ‘uncover’?
Best Answer
There are many cases where either word could be used. However uncover carries the implication that something was covered or hidden, often on purpose or perhaps with the passing of time. Something that was previously known is being re-discovered.
In the main meaning, abduct and kidnap are rigorously synonymous. In addition to that, abduct also has a meaning in physiology (as in abductor muscle): move a body part away from its rest position.
