To announce officially or declare something publicly and loudly.
From Latin 'proclamare,' combining 'pro-' meaning forward and 'clamare' meaning to cry out. Medieval kings would proclaim laws by having heralds shout them in town squares.
Kings proclaimed laws, activists proclaim truths, and sports announcers proclaim victories—the word carries an echo of ancient heralds shouting in marketplaces, making even modern announcements feel official and grand.
