oratory
의미: The art or practice of formal public speaking, particularly when eloquent, persuasive, or rhetorically skilful.
Oratory evokes the grand tradition of parliamentary and civic eloquence — Cicero, Burke, Churchill. In British culture, it is closely associated with the House of Commons, where debating skill has historically been a mark of political authority. The word implies more than just competent speaking; it suggests rhetorical power and emotional force. Note that 'oratory' can also mean a small private chapel, a distinct and older meaning.
