阐述

• 拼音: chǎn shù
• 汉字拆解: 阐 = 门 (gate) + 单 (single, phonetic) — to open and clarify; 述 = 辶 (movement radical) + 术 (skill, phonetic)

含义

To expound; to elaborate; to set forth in detail. To explain or develop an idea, position, or viewpoint systematically.

A formal register verb common in academic writing, official speeches, and professional presentations. Implies a structured, reasoned explanation rather than a casual description. Often collocates with 详细 (in detail), 充分 (fully), and objects like 观点 (viewpoint), 立场 (position), 理论 (theory). More formal than 解释 and more substantive than 说明.
