The Chinese character 暴露 (bàolù) is composed of two parts: the radical 衤 (fú) and the phonetic component 暴 (bào). The radical 衤 indicates that the character is related to clothing or covering, while the phonetic component 暴 suggests the meaning of "to expose" or "to reveal". The original meaning of 暴露 is "to uncover or expose something that is hidden or covered". In modern Chinese, it is used in a more general sense to mean "to expose" or "to reveal" something, often in a negative way, such as exposing a secret or revealing someone's flaws.
