means An additional explanation offered to make an earlier statement clearer after it was misunderstood or left ambiguous.

from From Latin clarus, 'clear' or 'bright,' which gave rise to clarificare, 'to make clear or bright.' The word traveled through French before settling into English in the 1500s, originally used in a near-literal sense of brightening or purifying something, before narrowing to the modern sense of clearing up confusion. The same clarus root lights up words like clarity, clarion, and declare — all cousins in the business of making things plain.
