Etymology
'disclosable' originates from English formation of the verb 'disclose' + the adjective-forming suffix '-able'. 'Disclose' itself ultimately comes from Latin elements 'dis-' + 'claudere', where 'dis-' meant 'apart' and 'claudere' meant 'to close'.
'disclosable' developed from the verb 'disclose' (Middle English from Old French 'desclore', from Latin roots). The verb 'disclose' (to open, make known) produced the adjective 'disclosable' by adding the productive English suffix '-able'.
Initially, related verbs meant 'to open' or 'unclose'; over time the sense shifted to 'to make known' or 'reveal', and 'disclosable' came to mean 'able to be revealed' or 'subject to disclosure'.
