Divulgating

/dɪˈvʌlɡeɪtɪŋ/ verb

Definition

Currently revealing or disclosing information that was previously hidden or secret.

Etymology

Present participle of divulgate, which is a variant form of divulge. Both come from Latin divulgare. The -ing suffix transforms the verb into its continuous form to show an action in progress.

Kelly Says

Divulgate is actually an older form of divulge that's rarely used today, but you'll find it in historical texts and more formal writing—it's like encountering a linguistic fossil that shows how English has simplified over centuries.
