Root Explanation

Enounce is formed from "e-" (meaning out) and "nunciare" (meaning to announce). The word means to announce or declare something clearly and explicitly, bringing it out into the open.

Memory Tip

Think of 'bringing something out' ('e-') to 'announce' it ('nunciare') — that's why enounce means to declare something clearly.
