give me your definition of "transpire."
to give off water vapor. Also to occur or "go down." As in we want to know what went down at the crime scene.
Can't tell you that! You're too young.
Sooo, are you going to let us know why you're asking, Faldage ?
To happen, and to give off moisture, usually used of plants.
Whatever it was, it made 'em sweat!!
The sennight is almost up.
Oh. We were waiting a sennight, were we? Ah bon.
Wull, it had kinda sunk and I'd been waiting for more folks to chime in. I'll tell y'all now what my point was if that's what y'all want.
The clue is in the scientific usage. Originally the common definition was "to come to light" as in "although it was long hushed up, it finally transpired that the CEO of Continental Draugsvold had been dealing with crime bosses in his attempts to keep his company afloat." It's been used to mean "happen" or "occur" since the early 19th century but this usage has been frowned upon by many prescriptivists. I just wanted to see if anyone would spontaneously come up with the "come to light" definition.
