Divulgence

/dɪˈvʌldʒəns/ noun

Definition

The revealing or disclosing of information, especially information that was intended to remain secret.

Etymology

From divulge + -ence (Latin-derived suffix creating nouns). The -ence suffix often appears in English words borrowed from or influenced by Romance languages.

Kelly Says

Divulgence is yet another noun form—English loves giving us multiple ways to say the same thing! The -ence suffix makes this version sound particularly formal and British, which is why you're more likely to see it in older texts.
