Etymology
'divulgeable' originates from English, formed by adding the suffix '-able' (from Latin via Old French) to the verb 'divulge'.
'divulgeable' is derived from the verb 'divulge', which itself comes from Latin 'divulgare' (see below) combined with the adjectival suffix '-able' (from Latin '-abilis' via Old French '-able').
The formation originally simply meant 'capable of being spread or made public'; in modern use it specifically means 'capable of being disclosed or revealed (often about information or secrets)'.
