Not to be used in the sense of "happen," "come to pass." Many writers so use it (Usually when groping toward imagined elegance), but their usage finds little support in Latin "breath across or through." It is correct, however, in the sense of "become known." "Eventually, the grim account of his villainy transpired" (literally, "leaked through or out").
- William Strunk Jr.
It was through our sword fight last night that Peter's and my sobriety or rather complete lack there of transpired; oh what a night.
