To make something widely known or to publish something publicly.
From Latin 'evulgatus,' past participle of 'evulgare,' meaning 'to make common or public.' The prefix 'e-' means 'out' and 'vulgare' means 'to make common,' from 'vulgus' meaning 'common people.'
This word is a rare linguistic twin—most people use 'divulge' for the same meaning, but 'evulgate' is its older, more direct Latin cousin that never quite caught on in English. It's a perfect example of how language evolution sometimes favors one word over its semantic equivalent.
