暴露
ばくろ · bakuro · JLPT N1 · noun
disclosure
🌽 暴 (burst out) + 露 (dew, exposed): 暴露 means something brought out into the open, like dew. Sounds like 'baku-ro': 'bark-ROe'.
露 — rain 雨 (top) + road 路 (bottom, phonetic)
露 combines 雨 'rain' as the meaning component with 路 'road' as the phonetic. It originally referred to dew — the moisture that settles overnight on outdoor paths. From there it extended to 'expose' or 'reveal,' since dew lies open on surfaces.
