articulates
Puts into words
Articulates means to express thoughts or ideas clearly and effectively in words: She articulates her vision for the company with precision.
The word suggests careful, well-organized speech rather than fumbling or vague expression.
In anatomy and mechanics, articulate describes how parts connect at joints, allowing movement: The skeleton articulates at over two hundred points.
Something that articulates bends or moves at a junction: an articulated bus, an articulated arm.
