Etymology
Dezvălui is built from the prefix dez- (from Latin dis-, marking reversal or undoing) attached to the noun văl, meaning veil, plus the verb-forming suffix -ui. Văl itself comes from Latin velum, the same word that gave English veil. So dezvălui was formed inside Romanian to mean, quite literally, to take the veil off something, and by extension to reveal or disclose it.
