discovered without divine or supernatural instruction or agency).

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.
