Root Explanation

Articulately → It is formed from "articulate" (from Latin "articulatus", meaning jointed or divided) and the suffix "-ly" (meaning in a manner of). The word "articulately" means in a manner that is clear and effective in speech or expression, as if the speech is well-jointed or connected.

Memory Tip

Think of speaking in a 'clear' and 'jointed' way — 'articulate' means to express clearly, and '-ly' indicates the manner of doing so.
