denounce
意味: To publicly declare that something or someone is wrong, evil, or unacceptable. A strong form of condemnation.
Denounce is a powerful verb that implies public, often moral condemnation. It is stronger than 'criticise' or 'condemn' and suggests a formal, emphatic declaration. Politicians denounce opposition policies, religious leaders denounce immoral behaviour, and human rights organisations denounce violations. The noun 'denunciation' refers to the act of denouncing. Historically, to 'denounce' someone also meant to inform against them to the authorities.
