the.com/exhibit
A noun pretending to be neutral while secretly building a case against you.
means To show something publicly, or the thing being shown — an object on display, or a piece of evidence presented for inspection.
from From Latin exhibere, 'to hold out, present' — built from ex- ('out') plus habere ('to have, to hold'). The root sense is simply holding something out for others to see, which is exactly how it ended up in both museums and courtrooms: one holds out art, the other holds out proof.
