Divulge for Dummies

Hey there! I'm really glad you asked me about the word "divulge." It's always exciting to explore new words together! So, let's break it down and make it super easy to understand, okay?

Divulge is a word that means to reveal or share information that was previously kept secret or confidential. It's like when you have a special secret and finally decide to tell someone about it. When you divulge something, you are opening up and sharing information that others didn't know before.

Imagine you have a treasure chest hidden away in your room. Inside that chest, you have all sorts of amazing, beautiful, and powerful things. Now, when you finally decide to open that chest and show its contents to someone else, you are divulging its secret. You are revealing something that was hidden away and kept just for you.

Now, let's look at a couple of examples to help us see how "divulge" can be used. Imagine you find out your friend is planning a surprise party for someone. They specifically asked you not to tell anyone, but you're really excited and can't keep it to yourself. So, you decide to divulge the secret and tell your other friend about the surprise party. In this case, you have divulged the secret by sharing the information even though you were asked to keep it to yourself.

Here's another example: Imagine you are playing a game with your friends, and you hide something in a secret spot, like under a rock. You tell everyone it's your secret hiding spot, and you don't want anyone to find it. But your excitement gets the better of you, and you end up divulging the secret by telling one of your friends where the hidden item is. You've shared something that was meant to be kept secret, and now your friend knows where to look.

So, to summarize, when we talk about "divulge," we're talking about revealing or sharing information that was previously hidden or meant to be kept secret. It's like opening up that treasure chest and showing someone what's inside. Remember, it's important to respect the privacy and trust of others, so be careful not to divulge secrets unless you have permission or it's a situation where it's appropriate to share.
