The skill and art of giving powerful, moving speeches; eloquent and persuasive speaking.
From Latin 'oratorium' (place for speaking), from 'orare' (to speak/pray). Originally referred to places for prayer, then to the speaking itself.
Ancient Roman orators like Cicero were celebrities on the level of movie stars today — people would gather to hear them speak, and their speeches were memorized, copied, and spread across the empire like viral videos.
