Rebecca

"Spoiler" means to tell the conclusion of the story or a movie to a person who did not see the story or the movie. When you know the conclusion of the story even before you start to read, the whole story will be less interesting. Therefore, it has the meaning of "spoil", which is to destroy the value of something. "Spoiler alert" is an announcement or warning made before the speaker reveals the conclusion of something.
