Question

transpire We kept up our questioning, and it soon transpired that the boys had known about the murder all along . trænˈspaɪər

Accepted Answer

(1) To happen. (2) To become known. Since the prefix trans- means “through” (see TRANS), transpire's most literal meaning is something like “breathe through.” Thus, the original meaning of the English word—still used today—is to give off a watery vapor through a surface such as a leaf. From there, it came to mean also the gradual appearance of previously secret information, as if leaking out of the pores of a leaf (as in “It transpired that she was not only his employee but also his girlfriend”). And soon it was being used to mean simply “happen” (as in “I wondered what had transpired in the cafeteria at lunchtime”)
