Definition
To pronounce words clearly and distinctly, or to state or express something definitively. It emphasizes clarity and precision in speech or declaration.
Etymology
From Latin 'enuntiare,' combining 'e-' (out) and 'nuntiare' (to announce), from 'nuntius' (messenger). Originally meant 'to announce clearly,' the word entered English in the 16th century with emphasis on clear articulation.
Kelly Says
Enunciate comes from the same root as 'nuncio' (papal messenger) and 'announce' - all about delivering messages clearly! The word captures both physical clarity (crisp pronunciation) and intellectual clarity (stating principles definitively). Good speakers enunciate both their words and their ideas!
