The action of showing or proving something clearly, often through examples, evidence, or practical display.
From Latin 'demonstratio' meaning 'a pointing out' or 'showing,' from 'demonstrare' (to point out clearly), composed of 'de-' (completely) + 'monstrare' (to show). Related to 'monster' - something shown or displayed.
Demonstration shares its root with 'monster' - both come from the idea of 'showing' something! A monster is something shown as a warning or wonder, while a demonstration shows something as proof or instruction.
