make clear

Remove all doubt

To make clear is to explain or express something so it's easily understood, removing ambiguity or confusion: Let me make clear what I expect from you.

It can also mean to reveal or establish something definitively: The investigation made clear who was responsible.

The phrase often signals emphasis or correction: I want to make clear that I never agreed to this.
