To replenish the vocabulary with synonyms for “reveal”, you must first understand the meaning of the verb. And only then, when it’s done, you can talk about replacements. We will proceed as follows: we will tell about the origin of an interesting verb, determine the meaning and choose synonyms.
The origin of the adjective is “explicit”
The explanatory dictionary has two hypotheses regarding the history of an adjective related to a verb. The first version says that the word came to us from the ancestor that has disappeared at the moment - “yav”. The second variant of the development of events: the adjective arose from the noun "reality", which we are now using quite successfully. Let us clarify the meaning of the ancestor that is available to us. So, reality is "real reality (as opposed to dream, delirium, dream), that which exists in reality."
Yes, everything is predictable here. Now it will not be difficult to determine the value of “reveal”.

We will tighten the section to the limit and immediately give the meaning of the word, and sentences with it. First, the first: "Make it obvious, discover, open it." If reality is reality, then reveal is a process in which the secret becomes part of reality. For example, when a person discovers something previously unknown. Let's look at the illustration sentences in more detail:
