verbalize
This term describes the cognitive and linguistic process of translating internal states, such as emotions or abstract concepts, into explicit language. It often carries a connotation of effort or difficulty, implying that the subject is struggling to find the precise words to match a complex internal experience.
In professional or clinical settings, such as therapy or legal testimony, the word emphasizes the act of speaking aloud as a means of clarification or evidence. It is more formal than "say" or "tell" and specifically highlights the transition from a non-verbal state to a verbal one.
