describe
Ngoại động từ
This word focuses on the act of painting a picture with language to help another person visualize a scene, object, or feeling. It implies a level of precision and observation, moving beyond simple naming to provide specific characteristics, colors, or behaviors. In professional or technical settings, it takes on a more clinical tone, used to document symptoms or specifications. While similar to explain, describing is about the what and how, whereas explaining is about the why.
