The quality of being able to speak or write clearly and effectively, expressing ideas in a well-organized way.
From 'articulate' plus the suffix '-acy' (a state or quality), similar to 'literacy' or 'fluency.' It evolved from Latin meaning 'distinctness' to describe the skill of clear communication.
Politicians and public speakers are prized for their articulacy—being able to clearly explain their position—which is why some politicians seem tongue-tied while others captivate audiences!
