elaborate
/ɪˈlæbəɹeɪt/verb
To explain something more fully by adding details.
Example sentences
- “The witness was asked to elaborate on what she saw that evening.”
- “He mentioned a new project but refused to elaborate further.”
The stress shifts with the role: the adjective ends in an unstressed -rit, the verb in a clear -rate. 'Elaborate on' a point is the usual pattern.
