Re*veal" (?), v. t. [imp. & p. p. Revealed (?); p. pr. & vb. n. Revealing.] [F. révéler, L. revelare, revelatum, to unveil, reveal; pref. re- re- + velare to veil; fr. velum a veil. See Veil.] 1. To make known (that which has been concealed or kept secret); to unveil; to disclose; to show.
[1913 Webster]
Light was the wound, the prince's care unknown,
She might not, would not, yet reveal her own.
Waller.
[1913 Webster]
2. Specifically, to communicate (that which could not be known or discovered without divine or supernatural instruction or agency).
[1913 Webster]
Syn. -- To communicate; disclose; divulge; unveil; uncover; open; discover; impart; show. See Communicate. -- Reveal, Divulge. To reveal is literally to lift the veil, and thus make known what was previously concealed; to divulge is to scatter abroad among the people, or make publicly known. A mystery or hidden doctrine may be revealed; something long confined to the knowledge of a few is at length divulged. “Time, which reveals all things, is itself not to be discovered.” Locke. “A tragic history of facts divulged.” Wordsworth.
[1913 Webster]
Re*veal", n. 1. A revealing; a disclosure. [Obs.]
[1913 Webster]
