Declaration

/ˌdɛkləˈreɪʃən/ noun

Definition

A declaration is a clear, formal statement, often announcing a decision, belief, or important fact.

Etymology

It comes from Latin “declaratio,” from “declarare,” meaning “to make clear, reveal.” The root idea is bringing something out into the open where everyone can see it.

Kelly Says

A declaration doesn’t just share information; it often changes reality once it’s spoken—like declaring independence or declaring war. The power of the word is part of the action itself.
