divulgence
This term carries a heavy connotation of betrayal or a breach of trust, often appearing in legal, corporate, or political contexts. It suggests a deliberate or accidental release of sensitive data that was intended to remain hidden, distinguishing it from simple sharing or communication.
Because it describes a specific act of revelation, it is typically used in formal registers. In casual conversation, speakers prefer the verb divulge or the noun disclosure, as divulgence can sound overly clinical or archaic.
