Third-person singular present tense: to reveal, expose, or betray (someone's secret or hidden nature).
From Old English 'be-' plus 'wray,' meaning to cause to be betrayed or revealed, with regular verb conjugation.
When someone 'bewrays' themselves, they inadvertently give away something they wanted to hide—it's more subtle than an outright confession, more like a slip of the mask.
