clarifications

Points made clearer

Clarifications are explanations or statements that make something clearer or easier to understand.

When confusion arises or details seem ambiguous, people request or offer clarifications to resolve uncertainty.

The lawyer asked for clarifications on several points in the contract.

The word implies that the original information was inadequate or unclear, and that additional explanation is needed to achieve proper understanding.
