To divulge something is to tell it when it was supposed to stay secret. You divulge a name, a plan, a password, who spoke to you, what was in a private letter. It is stronger and more careful than just “tell”: the point is that the information was meant to be kept in. You will see it in news, law, and medicine — “the paper would not divulge its source,” “doctors cannot divulge your records.” It is a rather formal verb; with friends, people more often say let slip, spill, or just tell. You divulge information to someone, not the person themselves.
洩露、透露（不該外流的事；比「說出來」正式）
組成From Latin dīvulgō, “to make known widely”: dī- “widely” + vulgō “to announce, to publish.” English took it in through Middle English divulgen.
