Definition
披露 (pīlù) means to officially or publicly disclose information, especially something previously hidden or sensitive — it carries a formal, journalistic tone. It is stronger and more formal than 透露 (tòulù 'to leak, to reveal casually'), and more specific to revealing secrets or data than 公布 (gōngbù 'to announce') or 发布 (fābù 'to release a statement'). 揭晓 (jiēxiǎo) is narrower, used only for results or answers.
