Definition, synonyms and related words
plural of announcement
"The train driver made several announcements over the intercom to inform passengers about the delayed connections."
In plain English: Announcements are official messages shared with a group to let everyone know about something important.
"Please listen to the announcements over the loudspeaker before we board the plane."
Usage: Use announcements to refer to multiple public notices or statements made by an organization, such as those heard over a school intercom or posted on a bulletin board. These are distinct from a single specific declaration and often cover routine updates or important information for a group.
Derived from the Latin annuntiare, meaning "to announce" (from nuntius "messenger"), this term originally referred to the act of making something known publicly. The plural form entered English via Old French in the late 14th century.
