the.com/proclamation
An announcement with a crown on, so you'll know it's serious.
means An official public announcement, especially one made by a government, ruler, or authority, declaring something formally.
from From Latin proclamare — pro- ('forth, publicly') plus clamare ('to shout, cry out'). The same clamare gives us claim, clamor, and exclaim; all of them, at root, are about raising your voice. A proclamation is etymologically just a very important shout, dressed up and read aloud in a town square.
