divulgement

/daɪˈvəɫdʒmənt/ noun

Divulgence; the act of divulging (communicating or revealing information).

Word Origin Divulgement comes from divulge, which is Latin divulgare — dis- 'widely' and vulgus 'the common people.' So to divulge is to spread among the masses, to make public. The same vulgus gives us vulgar (originally 'of the common people') and promulgate (to make known publicly). Divulgement is the act of letting a secret out to the crowd.
