Definition
An official announcement or statement, especially from a government or organization; typically spelled with an accent as 'communiqué.'
Etymology
From French 'communiqué' (from Latin communicatus, past participle of communicare, to share). Adopted into English in the 18th century.
Kelly Says
A 'communiqué' is specifically an *official* statement, which is why diplomats use it constantly—saying 'the government released a communiqué' signals this is formal policy, not casual commentary.
