How Do You Spell TRANSPIRED?

1. Transpired is a verb that can have several meanings depending on the context in which it is used. The primary definition of transpired relates to the act of something becoming known or revealed, typically after being kept secret or hidden. It implies that information or a situation has been disclosed or discovered by someone or has come to light. For example, it can be said that the truth about a scandalous event finally transpired after months of investigation.

   Additionally, transpired can refer to the process of moisture or liquid evaporating or escaping from a surface, usually through tiny pores or gaps. This usage of the word is commonly associated with plants, as they lose water through their leaves in a process called transpiration. It involves the absorption of water by the roots and its subsequent release through the pores on the surfaces of leaves, stems, or petals. In this sense, transpired represents the action by which a substance, especially water, gradually dissipates and turns into vapor. For example, when a person sweats, moisture transpires through their skin and evaporates into the air, helping to regulate body temperature.

2. Exhaled; escaped from secrecy.
