bring out

Make something emerge

To bring out is to make something visible, known, or available.

You bring out food for guests, bring out a new product for sale, or bring out details in a photograph.

The phrase often suggests revealing what was hidden: The crisis brought out the best in her.

To bring someone out can mean helping them overcome shyness, or historically, introducing a young woman to society.

Bring out also means to publish: The press brought out a new edition.
