Etymology

1. c.1375, from O.Fr. reveler (14c.), from L. revelare "reveal, uncover, disclose," lit. "unveil," from re- "opposite of" + velare "to cover, veil," from velum "a veil" (see veil). Revealed religion, as opposed to natural religion, is attested from 1719.
2. From Middle English revēlen, from Old French reveler, from Latin revēlāre (“to reveal, uncover”), from re- (“back, again”) + vēlāre (“to cover”), from vēlum (“a cloth, covering, curtain, veil, awning, sail”) (whence also English veil, English unveil, English voile, Russian вуаль (vualʹ), Russian завуали́ровать (zavualírovatʹ, “to veil”) (compare typologically)).
3. Also compare typologically English uncloak, dismantle, divest, invest, unmask, Russian разобла́чать (razobláčatʹ) (akin to облаче́ние (oblačénije), срыва́ть покро́вы (sryvátʹ pokróvy) (покро́в (pokróv, “cover, covering”)). See: Middle English 'revelen', English 'veil', English 'unveil', English 'voile', Russian 'завуали́ровать'.

(American Notes for General Circulation)
  • [...] a season here, and endear to them the wayward human heart, that they might bear it upward with them in their homeward flight.

(Uncle Tom’s Cabin)
