Divulges

/dɪˈvʌldʒɪz/ verb

Definition

Third person singular present tense of divulge; reveals or makes public something secret.

Etymology

From Latin divulgare in the present tense form. The -s suffix marks third person singular in English ('he/she/it divulges').

Kelly Says

When you hear 'She divulges the secret,' the -s ending is a tiny marker that shows we're talking about one other person doing the revealing right now—it's one of English's simplest but most essential grammatical tools.
