expositing
Explaining in detail
Expositing is explaining or setting forth ideas in detail.
The word is the present participle of expound's lesser-known cousin, most often appearing in religious or academic contexts: The pastor spent an hour expositing Scripture.
It carries a slightly formal, instructional tone—someone expositing isn't casually explaining but methodically laying out meaning.
