Morphology

revealment = reveal (semi-transparent) = reveal + ment

Formally 'reveal' + '-ment' is clear, but the specialized divine/supernatural sense is a religious usage more typically expressed by 'revelation', so the precise nuance may not be obvious to learners.

Etymology

The word revealment comes from reveal, which once meant 'to take off a veil' and is related to the English word veil, and the ending -ment. So a religious or spiritual revealment is like a truth or message that is 'uncovered' by a higher power and shown to people.
