Dictionary of Problem Words and Expressions:
divulge & disclose
These terms mean
“to make known to others
what was intended to kept secret, private, or confidential.”
Divulge is more likely to be used
when something previously secret is revealed to
a small number of people or a particular group;
disclose usually refers to
a general sharing of knowledge or information with others:
“Barbara divulged to her roommates her plan to be married within a month.”
“The Warren Commission attempted to disclose the facts concerning President Kennedy’s assassination.”
Neither word is widely used,
perhaps because reveal, tell, and expose convey much the same meaning.

Did you know?
It isn't vulgar to make known the roots of divulge.
The preceding sentence contains two hints
about the origins of the word.
Divulge was borrowed into Middle English in the 15th century
from Latin divulgare, a word that
combines the prefix dis-,
meaning "apart" or "in different directions,"
with vulgare, meaning "to make known."
Vulgare, in turn, derives from the Latin noun vulgus,
meaning "mob" or "common people."
As you have no doubt guessed,
English vulgar is another word that can be traced back to vulgus.
