The act of making something clear or explaining something in detail. A clarification that removes confusion or ambiguity.
From Latin 'elucidare,' meaning 'to make light' or 'to illuminate,' from 'ex-' (out) + 'lucidus' (bright, clear), related to 'lux' (light). The metaphor suggests bringing light to dark or unclear areas.
Think 'Lucid' (clear) inside 'elucidation' - when you elucidate something, you're making it lucid! You're turning on the mental light bulb, transforming confusion into crystal-clear understanding.
