clarify
Remove the confusion
To clarify is to make something clearer or easier to understand: Let me clarify what I meant.
You clarify a statement by explaining it, clarify a situation by revealing facts, or clarify your position by stating it more precisely.
In cooking, to clarify butter is to remove the milk solids, leaving pure golden fat.
