Word for coming out of hiding

Looking for a word that means «coming out of hiding.»

I mean literally the physical act of coming out, like:

‘something had scared me and I hid under a blanket or behind a rock,
and then gradually got the courage to ___________ (come back out)’

I was thinking «emerge» but you could emerge for many reasons unrelated to fear.

Reemerge

Strictly speaking, it means to emerge again.

Emerge:

verb (used without object), emerged, emerging.
1. to come forth into view or notice, as from concealment or obscurity:

reemerge. Dictionary.com. Dictionary.com Unabridged. Random House, Inc. http://www.dictionary.com/browse/reemerge (accessed: December 16, 2016).

However, there is a common and somewhat figurative usage that implies the passing of an event and the beginning of a return to normalcy or the familiar. This seems to be something of an off-label usage, and the examples I dug up from decent sources seem to show a self-conscious effort to explain what is perfectly obvious. So I can only suggest that this usage is informal.

You should consider resurfacing though I remember seeing it used in larger contexts than, say, hiding under blankets.

‘something had scared me and I hid under a blanket or behind a rock,
and then gradually got the courage to resurface

ODO:

resurface
VERB

2.2 (of a person) come out of hiding or obscurity:
‘he resurfaced under a false identity in Australia’

‘The crooks face a few setbacks but they soon resurface when the heat
dies down.’

Is the danger still present? Then maybe you crept out or slithered away or flitted away on the breeze. Not sure? Then perhaps you scampered off or popped up, head swiveling, ears akimbo or darted to the door. Maybe no one saw you until you materialized where a tree had been earlier, or vaporized into the mist (in your room, I’ve seen your room, it’s misty) or bolted from the rock into the valley beyond. Big personality? Maybe you exploded into view, then sauntered off, nonchalantly. You might erupt or burst or just appear.
It depends on who or what is emerging and what scared them and what they do after emerging, context is key in keeping character connected to story. Story is king.

The way Reverse Dictionary works is pretty simple. It simply looks through tonnes of dictionary definitions and grabs the ones that most closely match your search query. For example, if you type something like «longing for a time in the past», then the engine will return «nostalgia». The engine has indexed several million definitions so far, and at this stage it’s starting to give consistently good results (though it may return weird results sometimes). It acts a lot like a thesaurus except that it allows you to search with a definition, rather than a single word. So in a sense, this tool is a «search engine for words», or a sentence to word converter.

I made this tool after working on Related Words which is a very similar tool, except it uses a bunch of algorithms and multiple databases to find similar words to a search query. That project is closer to a thesaurus in the sense that it returns synonyms for a word (or short phrase) query, but it also returns many broadly related words that aren’t included in thesauri. So this project, Reverse Dictionary, is meant to go hand-in-hand with Related Words to act as a word-finding and brainstorming toolset. For those interested, I also developed Describing Words which helps you find adjectives and interesting descriptors for things (e.g. waves, sunsets, trees, etc.).

In case you didn’t notice, you can click on words in the search results and you’ll be presented with the definition of that word (if available). The definitions are sourced from the famous and open-source WordNet database, so a huge thanks to the many contributors for creating such an awesome free resource.

Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this project: Elastic Search, @HubSpot, WordNet, and @mongodb.
