exhort
含义: To strongly urge or encourage someone to do something, typically through earnest appeal or passionate argument.
Exhort carries a tone of moral urgency or passionate persuasion that distinguishes it from milder verbs like 'encourage' or 'advise.' It is most commonly found in political speeches, religious sermons, and editorial writing, where the speaker appeals to conscience or duty. The noun form 'exhortation' is equally prevalent, and the word frequently collocates with 'to action,' 'caution,' and 'virtue.'
