It was a most Bedlamite catalogue of horrors, which, if true, made the wholesome moors a place instinct with tragedy.

3.2017 October 14, Paul Doyle, “Mauricio Pellegrino yet to find attacking solution for stuttering Southampton”, in the Guardian[2]:

[Etymology]
editFrom Middle English revelacioun, from Old French revelacion, from Latin revēlātiō (“disclosure”), from revēlō (“to disclose”), re (“again”) + vēlō (“to cover”).
[Noun]
editEnglish Wikipedia has an article on:revelationWikipedia revelation (plural revelations)
1.The act of revealing or disclosing.
2.2007, Paul Zenon, Cool Card Tricks: Techniques for the Advanced Magician (page 58)
Magicians talk about the revelation at the end of a trick.
3.Something that is revealed.
4.2007, Karpyshyn, Drew, Mass Effect: Revelation[1], Del Rey Books, →ISBN, OCLC 150381260, pages 320-321:
But it was much more than a mere ship. Its systems, processes, and technology were so advanced that they dwarfed every accomplishment of the Citadel species. Its grandeur and complexity rivaled the greatest creations of the Protheans—the mass relays and the Citadel. It may have even surpassed them. And if Saren could learn and understand how it worked, he could seize all that power for himself.
He’d spent his entire life preparing for a moment like this. Everything he’d ever done—his military service, his career with the Spectres—was only a prelude to this revelation. Now he had found his true purpose; destiny had led him here.
5.2013 July 26, Leo Hickman, “How algorithms rule the world”, in The Guardian Weekly, volume 189, number 7, page 26:
The use of algorithms in policing is one example of their increasing influence on our lives. […] who, if anyone, is policing their use[?] Such concerns were sharpened further by the continuing revelations about how the US National Security Agency (NSA) has been using algorithms to help it interpret the colossal amounts of data it has collected from its covert dragnet of international telecommunications.
6.Something dramatically disclosed.
7.(theology) A manifestation of divine truth.
8.A great success.
9.2012 April 21, Jonathan Jurejko, “Newcastle 3-0 Stoke”, in BBC Sport:

baron
[[English]]
ipa :/ˈbæɹən/[Anagrams]
edit
- Abron, Barno, Bonar, Borna, NORBA, Nabor, Orban, Rabon, aborn, bonar
[Etymology]
editFrom Middle English baroun, from Old French baron, Medieval Latin barō, from Frankish *barō (“servant, man, warrior”), perhaps from Proto-Germanic *barô (“carrier, bearer”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰer- (“to bear”). Cognate with Old High German baro (“human being, man, freeman”), and perhaps to Old English beorn (“man, warrior”). Used in early Germanic law in the sense of "man, human being".A Celtic origin has also been suggested, due to the occurrence of a Latin barones (“military official”) as early as the first century (Cornutus, On Persius' Fifth Satire). However, the OED takes this hypothetical Proto-Celtic *bar- (“hero”) to be a figment.
[Noun]
editbaron (plural barons, feminine baroness)
1.The male ruler of a barony.
2.A male member of the lowest rank of English nobility (the equivalent rank in Scotland is lord).

3.(by extension) A person of great power in society, especially in business and politics.
Synonyms: magnate, tycoon; see also Thesaurus:important person
4.c. 1948, George Orwell, Such, Such Were the Joys:
There were a few exotics among them — some South American boys, sons of Argentine beef barons, one or two Russians, and even a Siamese prince, or someone who was described as a prince.
5.2013 August 10, Lexington, “Keeping the mighty honest”, in The Economist[1], volume 408, number 8848:
British journalists shun complete respectability, feeling a duty to be ready to savage the mighty, or rummage through their bins. Elsewhere in Europe, government contracts and subsidies ensure that press barons will only defy the mighty so far.
6.(UK, prison slang) A prisoner who gains power and influence by lending or selling tobacco.
7.1960, Hugh J. Klare, Anatomy of Prison (page 33)
The first thing a baron does is to accumulate a supply of tobacco. He spends every penny he can earn on laying it in […]
8.1961, Peter Baker, Time out of life (page 51)
Nevertheless, from my own agonies of the first few months, after which I did not miss smoking at all, I could appreciate the need of others. It was in this atmosphere of craving that the 'barons' thrived. Barons are prisoners who lend tobacco.
9.1980, Leonard Michaels, Christopher Ricks, The State of the Language (page 525)
In British prisons tobacco still remains the gold standard which is made to back every transaction and promise. The official allowance is barely sufficient for individual smoking needs, but tobacco may expensively be borrowed or bought from a baron, possibly through his runner.
10.A baron of beef, a cut made up of a double sirloin.
11.1851, Herman Melville, Moby-Dick, chapter 34
Such portentous appetites had Queequeg and Tashtego, that to fill out the vacancies made by the previous repast, often the pale Dough-Boy was fain to bring on a great baron of salt-junk, seemingly quarried out of the solid ox.
12.Any of various nymphalid butterflies of the genus Euthalia.
13.(law, obsolete) A husband.
