Announced or declared something publicly and officially, often with great ceremony or conviction.
From Latin 'proclamare,' combining 'pro-' (forward, public) and 'clamare' (to shout or cry). The word originally meant to shout something out to the public, which is why it carries connotations of formal declaration.
The word 'proclaimed' still carries the echo of its Latin root 'clamare' (to shout)—it's never used for quiet announcements, only big public declarations, because the word literally means to shout something forward!
