address

Talk to directly

Technology has considerably increased the workload of address, since everything that lives on a computer must have an address.

In addition, address denotes the particulars of a place where someone lives or works, and also serves as a synonym for speech in some contexts: Who gave the address at your graduation ceremony?

The meaning of the verb address varies according to its subjects and objects.

If you address a package, you write its destination on it.

If you address an audience, you speak to them, usually in a formal way.
