揭露

揭露 means to expose or reveal something hidden, especially a secret, wrongdoing, or truth. It is often used in contexts involving uncovering scandals, corruption, or hidden facts.

The character 揭 (jiē) originally meant to lift or raise, while 露 (lòu) means to appear or show. Together, they convey the idea of bringing something hidden into the open, like lifting a veil to reveal what was concealed.

揭露 is commonly used in news reporting, legal contexts, and public discourse. It carries a sense of responsibility and moral obligation, often implying that the act of exposing is necessary for justice or transparency. In Chinese culture, it is respected when done responsibly and with evidence.
