            Impart is more specific. It is giving to others a part
            of what we had held as our own, or making them our
            partners; as, to impart our feelings; to impart of our
            property, etc. Hence there is something more intimate
            in imparting intelligence than in communicating it. To
            reveal is to disclose something hidden or concealed;
            as, to reveal a secret.
            [1913 Webster]
