explanation that makes something clear
The act or result of explaining something so that people can understand it better.
Vzorec užití:
[someone] gives/provides clarification on [something]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse “clarification” with “clearance”. “Clarification” is about explaining something so people understand it. “Clearance” is official permission (for example, security clearance or customs clearance). Another mistake is using the verb form incorrectly, saying *“I will clarification this”* instead of *“I will clarify this”* or *“I will give a clarification.”*
Synonyma
explanation (The most common general word; does not always carry the idea of removing confusion as strongly as “clarification”.)

Antonyma
confusion (Refers to a lack of understanding, which clarification aims to remove.)
|
misunderstanding (Clarification is given to correct or prevent a misunderstanding.)
