- 1揭弊、吹哨（行為本身）；（用於名詞前）揭弊的，如「揭弊者保護法」
The act itself of telling the public or the authorities about inside your own organisation. Where '' is the person, 'whistle-blowing' is the thing they do — so it is a noun for the action (whistle-blowing is risky) and also works before another noun, as a describing word (a whistle-blowing case, whistle-blowing laws, a whistle-blowing ). You meet this form most in serious contexts: news reports, company rulebooks, law, and business ethics classes. It sounds formal; in ordinary conversation people say 'he blew the whistle on them' instead. Spelling varies the same way as — whistleblowing as one word is now very common. Note that this dictionary line describes the person, but the -ing form is the action; if you want the person, use .
組成whistle + blowing — the -ing form turns 'blow the whistle' into the name of the action, the same way 'swim' becomes 'swimming'.
