Evulge

/ɪˈvʌldʒ/ verb

Definition

An alternative or variant form of 'evulgate,' meaning to make publicly known.

Etymology

A variant spelling of 'evulgate' that appears in some older English texts. Both forms derive from the same Latin root 'evulgare.'

Kelly Says

This variant spelling shows how standardized spelling is actually quite recent—medieval and Renaissance writers had multiple accepted ways to write the same word, and 'evulge' is a ghost of that earlier flexibility.
