noun

Etymology: From Anglo-Norman and Old French prononcement. By surface analysis, pronounce + -ment. Doublet of pronunciamento.

  1. An official public announcement.

    The trial concluded with the pronouncement of a guilty verdict.

  2. An utterance.

    Though Bane’s sing-song voice gives his pronouncements a funny lilt, he doesn’t have any of the Joker’s deranged wit, and Nolan isn’t interested in undercutting his seriousness for the sake of a breezier entertainment.

    His pronouncements carried great authority, but his physical difficulties often caused them to be enigmatic in their brevity.
