Disclosive

/dɪsˈkloʊsɪv/ adjective

Definition

Tending to reveal or disclose; serving to uncover or make something known.

Etymology

Formed from disclose + -ive (adjective suffix meaning 'tending to'). This is a less common variant of 'disclosing,' creating an adjective that describes something with the quality of revealing.

Kelly Says

Disclosive is rarer than 'revealing' or 'disclosing,' but it has a formal, almost legal tone—you might see it in contracts or academic writing where precision about what tends to uncover information matters.
