Syn.
– To impart; bestow; confer; reveal; disclose; tell; announce;
recount; make known.
– To Communicate, Impart, Reveal. Communicate is the more general
term, and denotes the allowing of others to partake or enjoy in
common with ourselves. Impart is more specific. It is giving to
others a part of what we had held as our own, or making them our
partners; as, to impart our feelings; to impart of our property, etc.
Hence there is something more intimate in imparting intelligence than
in communicating it. To reveal is to disclose something hidden or
concealed; as, to reveal a secret.
