How to spell disclosure

Disclosure is spelled D-I-S-C-L-O-S-U-R-E.

What it means: The act of making something evident.

In a sentence: The teacher made a disclosure about the surprise party. ▶

The part people get wrong

Watch for an unstressed vowel that is hard to hear.

Same family: disclose, disclosed, disclosing, nondisclosure, full-disclosure. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Disclosure” comes from the Old French word “desclos” and the Latin root related to ‘close’ (to shut). It literally developed from the idea of ‘un-closing’ something that was hidden, and in modern English it often appears in legal and financial phrases like “full disclosure” and “nondisclosure agreement (NDA).”
